This
edition belongs to
“Musique vocale
françaiseâ€, a
series devoted to French
vocal repertoire –
both in original and
transposed key –
designed for students and
teachers as well as
professionals; it
includes 35 songs for
high voice, with original
poems and English
translations, that
Camille Saint-Saëns
composed throughout his
entire career. The texts
he chose for his music
are proof of his
excellent literary taste.
It is not always easy to
see a clear logic when
looking at the entire
corpus of the composer's
melodies, coming to a
total of around
one-hundred and twenty
works. Camille
Saint-Saëns was one of
the composers responsible
for bringing nobility to
French melody, thus
paving the way for the
generation, that of
Gabriel Fauré and
Henri Duparc, which would
elevate it to its highest
level.
