This collection of Vocalises contains 45 vocal exercises devised by innovative teacher Gabriel Fauré. When Gabriel Fauré was appointed Director of the Paris Conservatoire in 1905 one of his most pressing concerns – and first achievements – was a complete reform of the teaching of singing. He was determined to introduce mandatory study of art song along with 'exercises developing vocal suppleness articulation and voice placement and production which are the basis of singing teaching'. To this end between 1906 and 1916 he composed a substantial body of accompanied vocalises for use in theConservatoire’s sight-singing examinations. For a century these vocalises – all but one now held in the Archives nationales de France in Paris – have lain unknown to the musical world at large. Their first publication here marks a major event for the vocal teaching repertoire (as well as some entrancing music); a marvellous resource of skilfully devised vocal exercises ranging from elementary to advanced virtuoso level all from one of history’s greatest song composers.

This outstanding collection of 90 carols offers a balanced mixture of accompanied and unaccompanied items which will appeal immediately to conductors, singers and audiences alike. Mostly for mixed voices, it includes 16 carols and a further 39 arrangements published here for the first time. From Gabrielli to Judith Weir, medieval melodies to spirituals, the range of styles covers a wide spectrum of tastes. Conductors will welcome the availability of optional orchestral material available on hire for 24 of the carols, to allow for performances without organ. This major issue of carols is edited by William Llewellyn, a well established figure in the world of choral music. / Chant Et Piano

Vol.1 Premières Mélodies. Par FAURE GABRIEL. Gabriel FAURE est né à Pamiers (Ariège), le 12 mai 1845. Ses dons précoces pour la musique lui permirent d'entrer dès l'âge de neuf ans à la célèbre Ecole Niedermeyer fondée à Paris pour former les organistes et les maîtres de chapelle : durant une dizaine d'années, il y reçut un enseignement de grande qualité, axé principalement sur l'étude de la musique sacrée et des grands chefs-d'oeuvre classiques, auxquels l'initia notamment Camille Saint-Saëns, son professeur de piano. Dès sa sortie de l'Ecole, Fauré entama une brillante carrière d'organiste. En 1896, il succéda à Théodore Dubois à l'orgue de la Madeleine et fut nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire : il y eut pour élèves Ravel, Koechlin, Enesco, Schmitt. Entre-temps, il avait rencontré Liszt à Weimar et s'était initié à l'art de Wagner dont il ne subit pas véritablement l'influence. Appelé en 1905 à la direction du Conservatoire de Paris, après la démission de Théodore Dubois, membre de l'Institut, critique musical, Fauré vécut ses dernières années dans l'isolement, frappé par une irréversible surdité qui le contraignit à démissionner du Conservatoire en 1920. Il est mort à Paris, le 4 novembre 1924. La musique de ce compositeur quelquefois incompris et qui toucha à presque tous les genres (hormis l'orgue), se révèle d'une grande subtilité. Ennemi de l'emphase, Fauré a mis un contrepoint élégant, une écriture harmonique très personnelle, des inflexions imprévues et le secret de sa sensibilité musicale peu commune au service d'une oeuvre variée et d'une extrême qualité./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Par PORTER COLE. All aboard for Cole Porter's saucy and splendid musical romp across the Atlantic! When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as a comically eclectic cast of characters sets off on the course to true love. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theatre's most memorable standards, including 'I Get a Kick Out of You,' 'You're the Top,' 'It's De-Lovely,' and of course, 'Anything Goes.' All of the music in this edition has been newly engraved for easier reading, and additional original Cole Porter lyrics have been added to match revisions applied to several of the songs during major Broadway revivals in recent decades. Titles: I Get a Kick Out of You * You're the Top * Easy to Love * Friendship * It's De-Lovely * Anything Goes * Public Enemy Number One * Blow, Gabriel, Blow * Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye * Be Like the Bluebird * All Through the Night * The Gypsy in Me * Buddie, Beware. / Miscellaneous, Scores, Songbooks / Recueil / Voix et Piano
