Robert Schumann
Liederkreis op. 24
Kazuko Ozawa (Editeur)
Edition Urtext, voix moyenne, reliure paperback
pour voix moyenne
Schumann a été le premier à mettre en musique un cycle de poèmes complet d?Henri Heine. Âgé de 17 ans, Schumann était déjà fasciné par les écrits «lançant des éclairs» du poète. Mais c?est au cours de l?«année du lied», en 1840, qu?il écrit son opus 24. Il choisit pour sa mise en musique un cycle tiré du Livre des chants (Buch der Lieder). Le compositeur écrit à sa fiancée: «Ah! Clara, quelle félicité que d?écrire pour le chant.» Cet enthousiasme se reflète dans chacun des neuf lieder.
Il est enfin permis aux chanteurs avec une voix grave de s?appuyer sur les éditions Urtext Schumann de Henle: le magnifique Liederkreis op. 24, composé sur des poèmes de Heinrich Heine, est maintenant publié dans une édition transposée, réalisée par l?experte de Schumann Kazuko Ozawa. Avec le soutien du célèbre accompagnateur de lieder Gerold Huber, Henle propose maintenant des transpositions soigneusement agencées pour alto de la version pour voix moyenne. Cette édition Urtext est accompagnée d?une préface approfondie sur la genèse et d?un commentaire critique détaillé. L?édition originale pour voix élevée est disponible sous le numéro HN 548. / Partitions classique / Vocale - chorale / Voix solo - piano / HENLE VERLAG

As a song cycle with much variation Poulenc's Poèmes De Ronsard is an exciting addition to the Vocal repertoire.

Pierre Garnier débute en poésie au sein de l'Ecole de Rochefort sous l'oeil de Jean Rousselot. Il fonde ensuite la revue 'Les Lettres', pivot de la poésie spatiale, mouvement qu'il fonde avec sa femme Ilse Garnier. Il cultive une véritable passion pour les oiseaux, comme dans la 3e mélodie très justement intitulée 'Oiseaux'. Isabelle Aboulker a ici mis en musique trois poèmes, écrivant comme à son habitude pour la voix avec une grande maîtrise. Le style y est spontané, la mélodie fluide, l'harmonie concise, dans la plus parfaite tradition française. / Voix Moyennes Et Piano

Mittlere Stimme / Medium Voice-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. Thefirst 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? compositionand 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.

'When Gabriel Fauré was appointed Director of the Paris Conservatoire in 1905, one of his most pressing concerns - and first achievements - was a complete reform of the teaching of singing. He was determined to introduce mandatory study of art song, along with 'exercises developing vocal suppleness, articulation, and voice placement and production, which are the basis of singing teaching'. To this end, between 1906 and 1916 he composed a substantial body of accompanied vocalises for use in the Conservatoire's sight-singing examinations. For a century these vocalises - all but one now held in the Archives nationales de France in Paris - have lain unknown to the musical world at large. Their first publication here marks a major event for the vocal teaching repertoire (as well as some entrancing music)- a marvellous resource of skilfully devised vocal exercises ranging from elementary to advanced virtuoso level, all from one of history's greatest song composers.'- Roy Howat / Voix Et Piano

In addition to definitive editions of the printed music (with German and English singing translations) the book includes phonetic transcriptions of the Norwegian and German lyrics and word-for- word translations into German and English. The publication also includes a CD which contains: spoken lyrics recorded by native speakers to help singers with pronunciation; study versions of the songs with both melody and simplified accompaniments played on the piano; complete piano accompaniment recordings (pianist Denette Whitter). The book also includes a foreword by Monica Jangaard curator of the Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen.

Philip Stone is an actor of long and wide experience. In cinema he has worked with distinguished directors such as Stanley Kubrick Lindsay Anderson and Stephen Spielburg.he has also been a familiar face on our televisions for the past thirty years as well. Down those years he's always had a quiet ability to compose songs-words and music. They were written en passant in various places: in a tubercular chalet on the shores of Morecambe Bay - in a back room in Brixton - in a bedroom in Leeds - in a friend's house in St John's Wood. Some of these songs feature in his one-man show Beginnings and Endings and these eight are a varied example of that ability.
