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 first eleven 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' composition and 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.

Par CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO MARIO. Born into a family that had lived in Florence since the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) entertained only a distant relationship with the music he heard at synagogue. It was only when he discovered Schelemo, a rhapsody for cello and orchestra written in 1916 by Ernest Bloch, that he began to understand what ' Jewish music” could be. In the mid-1920s, the young composer found a collection of prayers set to music among his maternal grandfather' s papers. Something clicked, and from then on, Jewish tradition would become a source of inspiration for Castelnuovo-Tedesco. In 1928, two years after publishing the Dances of King David, he wrote this Vocalise-E tude for medium voice and piano at the request of vocal teacher Amédée-Landély Hettich, who wanted to include it in the Répertoire moderne de Vocalises-E tudes published by Leduc. The piece became so popular that several instrumental adaptations were soon created, published under the title Chant hébraïque (for violin and piano: AL17 713- for cello and piano: AL 17196). Divided into three sections, this wordless melody opens with a ' sad and impassioned” chant that appears to grieve the tragic fate of the Jewish people. A folk dance follows, in which a ' lively and stubborn” movement has great panache. The third section returns to the initial poignant theme before briefly reiterating the dance motif, allowing the piece to conclude on a hopeful note. The composer himself would adopt this proactive stance, refusing to yield to resignation when, fleeing Mussolini' s anti-Semitic laws, he decided to emigrate in 1939 to the United States, a land of refuge to which he would remain faithful until his death some thirty years later./ Etude / Voix Moyenne et Piano

Voix Moyenne Et Piano-Recueil. Par POULENC FRANCIS. Poulenc 's five songs, Poèmes De Ronsard were composed in 1925 during the post-war euphoria. The cycle is essential to aspiring, advanced vocalists of the French art song. Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a highly prolific composer, and remains popular to this day. Poèmes De Ronsard was composed towards the beginning of the composer's career, based on poems by prolific French poet, Pierre de Ronsard. Poèmes De Ronsard is made up of five songs which alternate between lively and slow tempos; 1) Attributes, 2) The Tomb, 3) Ballet, 4) Ionly have the Bones, and 5) On his page. As a song cycle with much variation, Poulenc 's Poèmes De Ronsard is an exciting addition to the Vocal repertoire./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

Par FAURE GABRIEL. Being such a prolific composer, particularly for Vocal and Piano works, Gabriel Fauré 's music is always addressed with high expectations. His Le Chanson D'Éve for Voice and Piano accompaniment is no exception. Fauré (1845-1924) began receiving high quality musical instruction from age 10 at the Niedermeyer School. He eventually became a piano pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns. Fauré 's career saw him succeed Théodore Dubois as organist at the Church of Madeleine in Paris and become professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire, all the while composing sublime works. His song cycle Le ChansonD'Éve was composed between 1906 - 1910. As Fauré 's longest song cycle, Le Chanson D'Éve is made up of ten melodies based on poetry by Charles Van Lerberghe. With Fauré 's music remaining hugely popular to this day, Le Chanson D'Éve is a favourite for the vocal repertoire./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs.

This edition includes several songs that were previously unpublished. Singers will love 'Review,? a hilariously detailed critic's account of a voice recital. / Voix Moyenne(s) Et Piano
