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

Par WECKERLIN JEAN-BAPTISTE. Bergerettes, also known as Shepherdess' Airs, were an form of early rustic French song. French composer, Jean Baptiste Weckerlin 's (1821-1910) arrangements of these popular songs for Voice and Piano are a sublime addition to the repertoire. The Bergerette is traditionally in strophic form. Weckerlin 's 20 harmonisations of some of the most favourite French Bergerette provides truly sublime additions to the vocal repertoire. For all aspiring vocalists, Weckerlin 's arrangements of traditional Bergerettes cannot be missed./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano
