Pour voix moyenne ou grave et piano-?For as long as there are poets there will be songs. If someone was to put on my tomb: ?Here lies Francis Poulenc musician to Apollinaire and Éluard?: that really would be my finest claim to fame ? the composer declared in 1945. Right from boyhood his attraction to poetry was practically equal to his love of music. And in fact the young Poulenc took to song-writing quite naturally starting in 1919. Poulenc compiled a catalogue of 150 songs a body of works of consistently high quality containing great diversity that marks him out as the last major exponent in this genre. This volume is a selection of Poulenc?s best-known titles in both original and transposed key for highand low voice with new engravings it includes original poems and English translation. This edition belongs to ?Musique vocale française? a series devoted to French vocal repertoire both in original and transposed key designed for students and teachers as well as professionals.
