Hohe Stimme / High Voice-As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch?s Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically.The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first 'Hagars Klage' (D 5) dated 30 March 1811 is also his first complete surviving song. The firsteleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811 1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg?s ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied' D 23) which the only one of these songs was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131 3. His apprentice work as it were was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss' D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied.- Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works? compositionand transmission together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage D 5 / Leichenfantasie D 7 /Der Vatermörder D 10 / Klaglied op. post. 131 3 D 23 / Misero pargoletto D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied D 44 / Die Schatten D 50 / Verklärung D 59 / Pensa che questo istante D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher D 77 / Son fra l?onde D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide D 95 / Trost.

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.

The Map Of The World is a work by Nico Muhly that sets three texts from Geoffrey Chaucer John Weever and Shakespeare for High Voice and Piano. The work lasts around 3 minutes 30 seconds.

The Album Of Sacred Songs was first published in 1918 as part of the ever-popular Schirmer's Library Of Musical Classics. Since then it has been re-released and re-printed many times but the original and much-loved collection of songs it contains has remained the same. Hidden within its 100+ pages are 22 sacred works by Bizet Gounod Hiller Mendelssohn Saint-Saens and many others all arranged for High Voice and Piano. This is a volume that will be treasured and re-used many times.

Singing in English-The Boosey Voice Coach is an entirely new concept in vocal training. Not a self-teaching manual and not filled with off-putting diagrams this series is a wholly practical guide to singing - learning about technique and interpretation through the repertoire itself. Each volume is devoted to singing in one particular language. In each volume of the series works from the vocal canon have been selected specifically by Mary King for their technical and musical challenges. Each piece is discussed at length starting with the words ('Text' - including a literal translation as appropriate) moving to general advice about how the song might be approached ('Notes') and thenaddressing the technical difficulties the music presents ('Skills'). Expressed in clear language Mary King's approach is direct practical and not limited to one particular teaching method. Any student will find that these books enrich and complement their vocal studies.Singing in English: Even for native speakers the English language presents singers with particular difficulties. How do you manage diphthongs for example? How do you make consonants clear without spoiling the vocal line? How do you make sense of the story-telling in a strophic folksong? These issues and more are covered in this book which contains songs with texts in the English language from Britain and elsewhere.

After a long time spent writing only for piano Schumann produced a true outburst of lieder inspired by the poetry of Heinrich Heine: ?What a blessing it is to write for the voice!? Schumann wrote to his beloved Clara. It is as though a knot was untied while he was writing the Heine-Liederkreis Op.24. Retrospectively Schumann wrote that this new poetic spirit had inspired the composition of lieder to such an extent that it had become the only genre to make significant progress since the time of Beethoven.Indeed these nine songs which represent the only complete setting of the underlying Heine cycle came so close to the spirit of the poet that a new epoch of liedcomposition was founded. This new edition of Schumann?s first collection of lieder is based primarily on the first publication under consideration of the autograph manuscript.All songs in their original keyComprehensive foreword (Eng/Ger) and critical commentary (Ger)Includes an English translation of the lied texts by Richard Stokes (The Book of Lieder) printed separately

Hector Berlioz's Song Cycle (The Summer Nights) is based on poems by Theophile Gautier. Though their subjects have little direct connection each song possesses the sultry scented charm implied by Berlioz's title. The tenderly expressive qualities of these settings makes one wish that Berlioz had continued his dedication to French poetry. The English version of the text is given by Bernard Taylor.

for Upper Voices and Orchestra. The Lost Words by composer James Burton takes its inspiration and text from the award-winning ?cultural phenomenon? and book of the same name by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris: a book that was, in turn, a creative response to the removal of everyday nature words like acorn, newt and otter from a new edition of a widely used children?s dictionary. Both the book and Burton?s 32-minute work, which is written in 12 short movements for upper-voice choir in up to 3 voice parts (with either orchestral or piano accompaniment), celebrates each lost word with a beautiful poem or ?spell?, magically brought to life in Burton?s music. At its heart, the work delivers a powerful message about the need to close the gap between childhood and the natural world. Burton?s piece was co-commissioned by the Hallé Concerts Society for the Hallé Children?s Choir and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The piano accompaniment version was premiered at the Tanglewood Festival in 2019 by the Boston Symphony Children?s Choir, of which Burton is founder and director. The Hallé Children?s Choir will premiere the orchestral version of the full work in Manchester, UK, post-pandemic.

The ups and downs of disappointed love: who could fail to sympathize with the feelings that Schumann immortalized in his song cycle Dichterliebe after Heine? The pieces range from hopeful anticipation(?Im wunderschönen Monat Mai?) to solitary grief (?Und wüssten?s die Blumen die kleinen?) and bitter sarcasm (?Die alten bösen Lieder?). Schumann knew what he was writing about: the cycleoriginated in the year of his marriage to Clara Wieck an event that took place only after years of struggle. Originally the sixteen-piece cycle was meant to include twenty lieder. Our volume reproduces the four discarded numbersin an appendix.

Love and Time-Dring herself had perfect pitch and these songs make technical demands upon the singer to good effect.Twentieth century English composer singer and actress Madeleine Dring wrote songs that frequently employed jazz chords in their accompaniment which has been compared in the US to Gershwin. Here there are touches of artsong French chanson and some element that is Dring’s own idiomatic style.

Originaltonarten für hohe Stimme. Written in 1885, the eight songs after texts by the now little-known poet Hermann von Gilm have a special place in Richard Strauss? corpus of Lieder. For the first time, he composed an entire set of songs on texts by a single poet, collecting them into one opus that was also to appear in print. Some of the numbers in it, like ?Zueignung,? ?Die Nacht,? and ?Allerseelen,? are among the most popular Strauss songs of all time, but the entire cycle with its well-planned structure is also worthy of closer examination and performance. The aspiring composer quite consciously aligns himself with the tradition ranging from Schubert to Wolf, choosing the highly Romantic subject of unrequited love and illuminating its most diverse facets. The primary source for the Henle Urtext edition is the first edition from 1887, which Strauss furnished with a dedication to the Royal Bavarian chamber singer Heinrich Vogl - a serious invitation to today?s male singers not to leave these wonderful Strauss songs solely to female singers!

This edition is suitable for lessons and for preparing for entrance exams in the subsidiary subject of singing for school or church music as well as for concert performances. The pieces impart the specific techniques of gospel singing. / Voix Haute Et Piano
