Par SILVERMAN JERRY. This book presents 375 of J.S. Bach's surviving chorale harmonizations with singable English translations of the original German text by choral conductor Henry S. Drinker. Printed in an easy-to-read format, this edition was designed to facilitate both analysis of Bach's musical genius in voice leading and renewed performance of these works by congregations. It is hoped that this user-friendly edition will inspire students and congregations alike to take a fresh look at this priceless musical treasure. Today they remain some of the finest examples of voice leading and harmonic movement, making them appropriate study material for any student of music theory and harmony. Chorales are also the root of traditional hymnody, especially from the Lutheran tradition. The chorales were originally text and melody sung a cappella, and were for congregational singing. Chorales were set in four parts for choir use, and are still appropriate for performance in worship services today. Many of the melodies will be familiar to those who sing traditional hymns. Choirs will love singing these beautifully written settings. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Classic - Songbooks / Recueil / Chant et Piano

Instrumentation: High/Medium/Low-voice—Pf (includes Optional Violin Format: Sheet Music Details: Three versions in one edition: high voice (G major); medium voice (F major); low voice (D Major) Contents: Gounod wrote the first version of this famoussong in 1852 and it was published in Decemberof that year by Mayaud as 'Premier prélude deJ.S. Bach'. The words were by Lamartine – 'Vers sur un album' from his Recueillments poétiques of 1839. Exactly when these words were supplanted by those of the 'Ave Maria' is not clear, but it seems to have happened within the first few years of the song's life. After a century and a half the piece isstill sung, played and loved the world over, and this is surely its own guarantee of musical value, as it is of its composer's more general gift as a songwriter. In the view of Maurice Ravel, that sharp critic of everything shoddy or meretricious, 'the true founder of the mélodie in France was Charles Gounod.' (Roger Nichols)
