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 BRITTEN BENJAMIN. 2013 marks the centenary of Benjamin Britten's birth and major celebrations are planned across the world, making this the widest ever global celebration of a British composer. The previously unpublished Six Early Songs were written during the composer's schooldays, whilst he was studying with Frank Bridge. But even at this tender age, Britten already had such accomplished works as Quatre Chansons Francaises under his belt. The songs on the one hand display Britten's school-boyish imagination (witches, owls and moths), while on the other show a more brooding side, not to mention confident piano writing and an innate understanding of vocal drama. Previously unpublished, these six songs are an important new addition to the solo song repertory./ Répertoire / Voix Moyennes et Piano

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

First Edition. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. Following the success of the first volume, Schott now presents the second volume of songs by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, published for the first time. They date from the early creative period of the 'child prodigy' and already show the extraordinary talent of the young composer. On the basis of the late Romantic musical language, he developed a totally individual sound world full of melodic breadth, refined harmony and sparkling inventiveness. Many of these marvellous songs were composed for certain events; with the operetta-like Die Gansleber im Hause Duschnitz, Korngold managed to write a real 'Viennese delicacy'. With the help of these two songbooks, singers, pianists and music lovers can, for the first time, get to know the musical beginnings of the composer who was later to become one of the most successful composers of film music in Hollywood./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs. Gracious and witty, they show a love of words, with texts ranging from the most elite English and American poets to a dictionary entry ('Love in the Dictionary?). With a deep understanding of the voice and the piano, Dougherty created a body of song literature that lives on in a steady flow of student and professional performances. 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

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

Ce volume 3A des Plaisirs du chant est, comme les précédents, destiné aux jeunes chanteurs, ainsi qu'aux cours de formation musicale. Les morceaux sont présentés dans une tessiture moyenne. Pour plus de facilité, des traductions françaises sont aussi proposées pour trois lieder (un peu remaniées, elles datent du 19e siècle). Mais, sous cette apparente facilité, les morceaux choisis sont, pour la plupart, d'un mouvement assez lent, et donc, plus difficiles à lier et à animer. Ils aideront le jeune chanteur à extérioriser sa sensibilité musicale et poétique. On ne saurait trop recommander aux professeurs de commencer la formation vocale des élèves par des morceaux de tessiture moyenne, comme ceux des Plaisirs du chant avant d'aborder les recueils spécifiques pour soprano, mezzo, ténor ou baryton, dans un deuxième temps. La première pièce L'Amour de moy qui date du 15e siècle est donnée ici avec un accompagnement au piano, composé spécialement pour ce recueil, mais il est tout à fait possible de la chanter à voix seule, comme elle est notée dans le manuscrit de Bayeux. C'est même un excellent exercice. Jusqu'à la fin du 18e siècle, les ornements et variations n'étaient pas écrits dans les partitions, mais laissés à l'imagination des chanteurs (ces embellissements pouvaient changer d'un concert à l'autre). Nous avons un peu perdu ce sens de l'improvisation, mais l'élève pourra s'inspirer des ornements et variations très simples proposés dans le CD par les deux chanteurs. Toutes les pièces de ce recueil peuvent être interprétées par des voix féminines ou masculines, sans distinction. Pour le CD, j'ai demandé la collaboration d'une soprano et d'un ténor dans le seul but de varier la couleur à l'écoute du disque. Ces deux artistes ont chanté avec une grande économie de moyens pour que l'exemple ne soit pas trop lyrique et n'incite pas les jeunes chanteurs à dépenser une énergie inutile et néfaste. L'accompagnement, enregistré au piano seul, aidera à la mise en place du morceau avant le travail avec l'accompagnateur. Pour les exercices préliminaires à l'étude d'un morceau, on peut s'inspirer des exercices pour les débuts qui figurent dans mon ouvrage Le Professeur de chant : un luthier qui construit une voix (référence: VV375 ) paru aux éditions Van de Velde. L'expérience prouve que toutes les pièces du recueil sont adoptées avec plaisir par les étudiants et suscitent des progrès sur le plan vocal et musical.

The Boosey Voice Coach is an entirely new concept in vocal training. Not a self-teaching manual, and not filled with off-putting diagrams, this series is a wholly practical guide to singing - learning about technique and interpretation through the repertoire itself. Each volume is devoted to singing in one particular language or to singing in a specific context, such as musical theatre or oratorio. In each volume of the series, works from the vocal canon have been selected specifically by Mary King for their technical and musical challenges. Each piece is discussed at length, starting with the words ('Text' - including a literal translation as appropriate), moving to general advice about how the song might be approached ('Notes'), and then addressing the technical difficulties the music presents ('Skills'). Expressed in clear language, Mary King's approach is direct, practical and not limited to one particular teaching method. Any student will find that these books enrich and complement their vocal studies.German can seem like an awkward language to sing in - there are just too many consonants! How do you get your tongue around them? And there are lots of regional differences in accent: is there a 'correct' pronunciation? What exactly is an Umlaut? These issues and more are covered in this book, which contains settings from some of the masters of song-writing in the German language. / Voix Moyenne Et Piano
