op. 7 Hol. 81B / Six Songs-Hector Berlioz: Les nuits d'Ete for Solo Voice & Orchestra Op.7 Hol.81B . Version for medium voice. BA 5786-90: Vocal score voice & piano Berlioz composed these songs in 1840–41 between the composition of Roméo et Juliette and La damnation de Faust. The poems were taken from a collection entitled La comédie de la mort by Théophlie Gautier published in 1838. The songs were for mezzo-soprano or tenor with piano accompaniment and were published as a cycle under the title Les nuits d’été in 1841. The second and fourth songs Le spectre de la rose and Absence were performed a few times at that period and Absence was sung twice in February 1843 by Marie Recio on Berlioz’s first tour of Germany. For Marie who later became his second wife Berlioz at once orchestrated the song for mezzo-soprano and small orchestra. A dozen years later Berlioz orchestrated the remaining five songs of the cycle which appeared in its orchestral form in 1856. Two of these songs Le spectre de la rose and Sur les lagunes were now transposed to a lower key so that the cycle was no longer within the compass of a single voice. 1: Villanelle F major 2: Le spectre de la rose B major 3: Sur les lagunes F minor 4: Absence E-flat major 5: Au cimetière B-flat major 6: L’îsle inconnue D major Urtext of the New Berlioz Edition Full scores and parts available for hire (BA5786-72) English & German translations of the song texts printed sepatarely

Frank Bridge’s Three Songs for Medium Voice Viola and Piano is the second volume in a 30-volume series by The Frank Bridge Trust in association with Thames Publishing celebrating the works of Frank Bridge. This publication features the songs Far far from each other Where is it that our soul doth go? and Music when soft voices die and includes the score for Viola separately making the collaboration of the three musicians easier. The songs can be and often are performed together as a cycle but also work as short individual pieces. The first performance of the three songs in December 1908 marked a rareoccurrence as Frank Bridge played the Piano part himself. Far far from each other is the most ambitious of the three pieces for all three musicians. The words are excerpts from Matthew Arnold’s ‘Empedocles on Etna and Other Poems Parting’.Where is it that our soul doth go? is the shortest of the three songs and the words are a translation of the last stanza of Heinrich Heine’s Clarisse translated by K. F. Kroeker.While the first two songs are original settings Bridge first wrote Music when soft voices die for High Voice Piano and Cello in 1903. The present version was transcribed in 1907. Music when soft voices die the short poem providing the words for this piece is one of the most influential and well-known of Shelley’s works.Watch Three Songs performed by Rebecca Ringle (Mezzo-Soprano) Luke Fleming (Viola) and Roger Steptoe (Piano):

Lennox Berkeley's I Carry Your Heart With Me for medium Voice and Piano.'Sometime in 1970 I gave Lennox Berkeley a volume of poems by the American poet E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) since mysister Meriel Dickinson and I were commissioning him towrite a song-cycle for a whole programme of settings of Cummings. At the time he became involved with Chinese poetry and we were delighted with the Chinese Songs Op. 78.However a year or so later in July 1972 Berkeley did set a poem by Cummings. This was ‘i carry your heart with me’ from 95 Poems (1958) and he dedicated the song to the countertenorTay Cheng Jim.The manuscript leavesfew questions. Obviously the pedal sustains the sextuplet and triplet groups at the start and finish. It is possible that all the As in bar 32 of the left hand piano part should be flat although there are clashes like thiselsewhere. A few phrase-marks have been added on existing patterns.' - Peter Dickinson

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Le Liederkreis opus 39, publié pour la première fois en 1842, fait aujourd?hui encore partie des cycles de lieder les plus importants de Schumann, et pas seulement pour le célèbre «Mondnacht» («Nuit sous la lune»). Huit ans plus tard, Schumann révisa son ?uvre en vue d?une nouvelle édition, et remplaça la pièce liminaire de la première parution, «Der frohe Wandersmann» («Le Joyeux voyageur») par le lied «In der Fremde» («Loin du pays natal»). L?édition Urtext Henle propose les deux versions dans leur intégralité, et constitue une magnifique opportunité pour suivre les remaniements apportés par Schumann à la musique. Les deux éditions pour voix médiane et voix grave complètent la version originale pour voix aiguë (HN 550), dans une transposition ? comme toujours pour Schumann ? habilement agencée par Gerold Huber, pianiste accompagnateur de lieder très expérimenté. / Date parution : 2022-01-18/ Recueil / Voix Medium et Piano

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.

Elgar was pre-eminently the composer of large forms. Complex lengthy development of musical ideas was for him a measure of genius. His songs with the exception of the orchestral cycle Sea Pictures were not often the vehicles for his most striking ideas. Paradoxically he was also bedevilled by a fine literally taste. He once told a friend that he felt it better to set the best second-rate poetry to music for the most immortal verse is music already. Some of his songs are therefore settings of poets now all but forgotten such as Arthur Salmon and Gilbert Parker: to their verse his music might make a vital addition. Elgar's songs offer authentic Edwardianreflections which we can value now in their own terms. These songs are full of echoes of a master's thoughts - and especially in the songs written for the stage - flashes of his genius.

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. Les huit lieder composés en 1885 sur des textes du poète Hermann von Gilm, aujourd?hui peu connu, occupent une place à part dans la production de lieder de Richard Strauss. Pour la première fois, il a mis ici en musique tout un groupe de lieder sur des textes d?un seul poète et les a ensuite réunis en un seul opus également destiné à l?impression. Certains numéros comme Zueignung, Die Nacht, et Allerseelen comptent parmi les lieder les plus populaires de Strauss, mais c?est aussi le cycle dans son intégralité qui est, de par son aménagement bien disposé, digne de considération: le compositeur encore en pleine évolution se situe ici très consciemment dans la tradition de Schubert à Wolf, et choisit, avec l?amour vain, un thème hautement romantique, qui se trouve mis en lumière sous les facettes les plus diverses. Parue en 1887 et d?abord écrite à l?intention d?une voix élevée, la première édition des Lieder op. 10 fut suivie, encore du vivant du compositeur, par des versions transposées pour voix moyenne et grave, ainsi que cela devint la règle pour tous les lieder de Strauss par la suite. L?édition Urtext de Henle se saisit de ces transpositions conservées jusqu?à aujourd?hui afin de pouvoir offrir ce merveilleux cycle de lieder à chaque tessiture vocale! / Date parution : 2022-06-14/ Répertoire / Voix Medium et Piano

Liederkreis op. 24
Kazuko Ozawa (Editeur)
Edition Urtext, voix moyenne, reliure paperback
pour voix moyenne
Schumann a été le premier à mettre en musique un cycle de poèmes complet d?Henri Heine. Âgé de 17 ans, Schumann était déjà fasciné par les écrits «lançant des éclairs» du poète. Mais c?est au cours de l?«année du lied», en 1840, qu?il écrit son opus 24. Il choisit pour sa mise en musique un cycle tiré du Livre des chants (Buch der Lieder). Le compositeur écrit à sa fiancée: «Ah! Clara, quelle félicité que d?écrire pour le chant.» Cet enthousiasme se reflète dans chacun des neuf lieder.
Il est enfin permis aux chanteurs avec une voix grave de s?appuyer sur les éditions Urtext Schumann de Henle: le magnifique Liederkreis op. 24, composé sur des poèmes de Heinrich Heine, est maintenant publié dans une édition transposée, réalisée par l?experte de Schumann Kazuko Ozawa. Avec le soutien du célèbre accompagnateur de lieder Gerold Huber, Henle propose maintenant des transpositions soigneusement agencées pour alto de la version pour voix moyenne. Cette édition Urtext est accompagnée d?une préface approfondie sur la genèse et d?un commentaire critique détaillé. L?édition originale pour voix élevée est disponible sous le numéro HN 548. / Partitions classique / Vocale - chorale / Voix solo - piano / HENLE VERLAG
