Song Cycle-A song cycle by Nicholas Maw setting the poems of Peter Porter. The poems themselves are based on the letters of a seventeenth century love affair and chart the bliss and torment of hidden romance across eight songs.

Includes versions for High Medium or Low Voice (G F or E flat) with Piano accompaniment. Performance note by Gordon Stewart.Preface:The words for Panis Angelicus are from a longer hymn text Sacris Solemnis written by St Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century for the newly established Feast of Corpus Christi and would originally have been sung to a plainchant. César Franck set this verse of seven lines in 1872. His deep religious feelings fashioned a memorable melody one which is within the scope of all singers - its range is only a seventh and if you follow the word patterns the breathing sits comfortably. It is in its way simple and direct but with the chance to use the voice to its full. The Latin words are not hard to sing but if you prefer to perform it in English the translation conveys the essential meaning. Franck originally wrote Panis Angelicus for Tenor Cello Harp Organ and Double Bass but it slips easily into the Keyboard arrangement. The colours of the original scoring are evident the Organ's sustained chords the semi-staccato notes for the Harp and the Cello's countermelody beginning in bar 38 (which could be transferred to another melodic instrument if that suits the occasion). Some discreet repetition of the long tied notes and doubling of the bass at the octave can give the Piano more resonance. The accompaniment probably works best with a minimum pedalling and an Organist's style of fingering. The dynamics ask for a triumphant final statement of the words 'pauper servus' in bar 53. It makes complete musical sense to make a diminuendo for the word 'humilis' in bar 56 leading to a thoughtful postlude.

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The 'Deutsche Volkslieder” WoO by Johannes Brahms were published in altogether seven books in 1894. The first six books each comprised seven songs for voice and piano accompaniment, and Book VII contained the subsequently composed songs nos. 43 to 49 for four-part chorus and piano ad libitum. Brahms had completed his compilation of the books in the winter of 1893/94- however, most of the songs were written earlier. Brahms' primary text source was the two-volume collection of 'Deutsche Volkslieder mit ihren Original-Weisen” (German Folksongs with their Original Melodies) published in 1838/1840 by Anton Wilhelm von Zuccalmaglio./ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Piano

Partition pour voix moyenne et élevée et piano Collection : Bonnardot Jacqueline Nombre de pages : 45 Cette édition s'adresse aux chanteurs mais également à tous les musiciens qui aiment le chant et veulent avoir facilement un large éventail de musique convenant à des voix peu exercées (formation musicale, par exemple). Tous les morceaux ont été choisis non seulement pour leurs qualités musicales, mais aussi pour leur efficacité pédagogique, favorisant ainsi le bon développement des jeunes voix. Les morceaux de chaque recueil sont choisis pour un niveau donné, et conviennent à des voix moyennes ou élevées, qui chanteront avec profit ces pièces ne sollicitant pas leur aigu, mais ne nécessitant jamais un grave ou un médium appuyé. Nous avons cherché à respecter scrupuleusement le texte original des morceaux choisis. Et c'est ce texte, fidèle, que nous avons parfois transposé, et pour lequel Irène Assayag et Bruno Gousset, selon leurs compétences respectives, ont réalisé les basses chiffrées. C'est ainsi que nous avons retranscrit les signes de mesure, et les ornements originaux, sans les adapter à l'usage du 19e siècle, laissant aux musiciens, la liberté de les interpréter avec goût. Il est possible, bien sûr, de faire travailler certaines pièces en vocalise, si la langue pose des problèmes, ou comme travail préliminaire pour installer le legato.
