Voix Moyennes Et Piano-Recueil. Par PIERNE. Gabriel Pierne (1863-1937) was a French composer, conductor and organist. Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor, his Trois Chansons De Metiers remains a recognised piece in the Vocal repertoire. Pierne studied at the Paris Conservatoire before taking up the position of chief conductor for the concert series, Concerts Colonne in 1910. He remained in the post until 1933, and during this time, he notably conducted the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird. Pierne composed for a variety of instruments. Trois Chansons DeMetiers is arranged for two vocal groups and contains many characteristics typical of the French style, such as lyrical melodies, a significant amount performance directions, flourishes of semiquavers, chromaticism and many changes in dynamics. Trois Chansons De Metiers, 1) The Tailor, 2) The Shoemakers, and 3) The Rope Maker, is a varied piece, essential to the repertoire of aspiring choristers./ Répertoire / Voix Moyennes et Piano

Elgar was pre-eminently the composer of large forms. Complex lengthy development of musical ideas was for him a measure of genius. His songs with the exception of the orchestral cycle Sea Pictures were not often the vehicles for his most striking ideas. Paradoxically he was also bedevilled by a fine literally taste. He once told a friend that he felt it better to set the best second-rate poetry to music for the most immortal verse is music already. Some of his songs are therefore settings of poets now all but forgotten such as Arthur Salmon and Gilbert Parker: to their verse his music might make a vital addition. Elgar's songs offer authentic Edwardianreflections which we can value now in their own terms. These songs are full of echoes of a master's thoughts - and especially in the songs written for the stage - flashes of his genius.
