High Voice (24 Songs)-This is the first substantial collection ever published of songs by Virgil Thomson (1896-1989) composer of the operas The Mother of Us All and Four Saints in Three Acts. Thomson's musical style was based inAmericana but he was attracted to abstract poetry. The unique result is traditionalism turned on its ear. The songs date from 1926 until 1974.

Ernest J Moeran (1894-1950) was an English composer who followed the tradition of R. Vaughan Williams and John Ireland by collecting preserving and using many folk songs mainly from Norfolk Suffolk and Ireland.First published in 1924 Two Songs are both set for High Voice with Piano accompaniment. The first The Bean-Flower is a setting of a poem by Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) which recallsthe scent of the Hawthorn which made the writer fall in love. The second is called Impromptu In March and is a setting of a poem by Doreen A. E. Wallace (1897-1989) a more cheery affair which looks forward tothe coming of Spring.

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 themusic lover. Nichols now turns his attentionsto 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 asReber, Viardot, Massé and Paladilhe. Even themore celebrated songs are often not easily found in practical editions, which makes thisselection 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 thepoets who were of crucial importance in the development of the mélodie tradition.

5 Continents. Cette collection par Gwyn Arch de dix chansons folkloriques peut-être petit, mais cinq continents sont représentés au sein de ces 76 pages, et chaque continent.Du Mexique (Amérique du Sud) vient de La Cucaracha (le cafard), une chanson populaire en langue espagnole avec une mélodie mémorable et Cielito Lindo qui est tré par les Mexicains comme une sorte d'hymne national alternative. Le continent africain est représenté par une chanson à partir de la Tanzanie, Malaika, et une autre Afrique de l'Ouest se réjouir dans le titre Jikela Emaweni hamba sia. Les deux chansons ont été associés à la célèbre chanteuse sud-africaine et militant des droits civiques Miriam Makeba, et de nouvelles paroles (en anglais) ont été fournis par Stuart Smith. En Russie (Europe) musique folklorique est étroitement liée à la vie du village et ses traditions. Kalinka est la rêverie d'un jeune homme sous un pin, tandis que le bouleau Little était un symbole de la beauté en Russie soviétique. Le quatrième continent est l'Asie. S'il ya une chanson juive connue par les Juifs et non-Juifs, il doit être Hava Nagilah. Tum Balalaika est également un traditionnel yiddish, mais il est d'origine juive russe. Le Folkmusic des Maoris de Nouvelle-Zélande (Océanie) est principalement associée à la guerre chants appelé Haka, mais Hine e Hine et Pokarekare Ana révèlent l'influence des colons milieu du 19e siècle britanniques. / Voix Elevée(s) Et Piano
