Masterpiece Edition-Franz Schubert was born in Vienna in 1797. He was involved in music at an early age learning music theory and many different instruments including piano violin organ and voice. During his brief but prolific life he wrote a wide variety of music. His compositions included symphonies piano sonatas piano duets operas masses chamber works and several hundred songs. Among the hundreds of songs the most loved and revered is Ave Maria. Ave Maria was first published in 1826 under the German title Ellen's Gesang 111: Hymne and die Jungfrau (Ellen's Song 111: Hymn to the Virgin). The text used was taken from a novel written by Sir Walter Scott entitled 'Lady of the Lake'. It was then translated into German as it appeared in Schubert's song. After Schubert's death in 1828 the Latin text began being used and eventually surpassed either the use of the German or English text. 'Antiphon of the Blessed Virgin' is a text which has been used in religious contexts since the beginning of Christianity. This vocal classic was originally envisioned as a devotional piece but over time the magnificent beauty of both music and text has made this song equally popular for secular performances. Schubert's Ave Maria arranged for High Voice is recommended for Soprano or Tenor ranges. We have included a separate vocal line with lyrics written in Latin just above the piano accompaniment stave(s). The English translation is also included to explain this fabled story. This Minstrel Press Edition of Schubert's Ave Maria for High Voice is exclusively distributed by Santorella Publications.

Instrumentation : High voice - Pf (Fr.) Those interested in French music have often had reason to be grateful to Roger Nichols; his writings on Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen and Poulenc are indispensable to the music lover. Nichols now turns his attentions to the mélodie, where it is his mission to encourage singers to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of French song. In these two anthologies he does not ignore masterpieces by composers of the stature of Fauré and Duparc, but sets them alongside music - almost impossible to find elsewhere in print - by such under-estimated figures as Reber, Viardot, Massé and Paladilhe. Even the more celebrated songs are often not easily found in practical editions, which makes this selection an ideal starting point for wider exploration. In each of these volumes the songs appear in the chronological order of their composer's birth, but Nichols somehow contrives a line-up of music which seems delightfully arbitrary at the same time as carefully designed to enrich everyone's understanding of the mélodie. The books also contain a remarkable amount of scholarship, lightly worn and pithily expressed. As well as complete translations of the songs, there is a useful and concise introduction on singing in French, together with an illuminating historical note and critical commentary; and Nichols gives full due to the poets who were of crucial importance in the development of the mélodie tradition.

The Complete Verlaine Settings (1887–1894) Critical edition-Gabriel Fauré’s seventeen settings of the poetry of Paul Verlaine mark the biggest single stylistic leap of his compositional career and arguably one of the high points of the entire art song repertoire. The present edition contains the three individual settings Claire de lune Spleen and Prison together with the Op. 58 “Venetian” Songs and the magnificient cycle La Bonne Chanson. With its focus both practical and scholarly this new Complete Edition of songs aims to encourage creative confident and well informed performance. Founded on study of hundreds of manuscripts and printedsources it has been tested internationally in masterclasses workshops seminars concerts and recordings. In this it takes a lead from the composer who prepared his own editions on the basis fo performing experience. The edition also assimilates interpretative insights from musicians who worked with Fauré as well as from his documented performing preferences.

These Schumann songs set to poems by Heinrich Heine are a deeply psychological and disturbing journey as they reflect more often than not the bitterness of unrequited love. The most cheerful songs begin asdeceptively happy experiences which ultimately turn sour as they eventually reveal themselves as somewhat despairing looks at love. Written for High Voice and 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. Contenu : Beethoven: Dimmi ben mi - In questa tomba - Bellini: Ma rendi pur contento... - Britten: The Salley Gardens - Caccini: Amarilli - Cesti: Aria - Fauré: Le Secret - Gounod: O ma belle rebelle - Haydn: A Pastoral Song - Mozart: Dans un bois solitaire - Das Veilchen - Scarlatti: Le violette - Schubert: Florio - Schumann: Abschied von Frankreich - Weber: Meine Farben
