Francis Poulenc

Pour voix moyenne ou grave et piano-?For as long as there are poets there will be songs. If someone was to put on my tomb: ?Here lies Francis Poulenc musician to Apollinaire and Éluard?: that really would be my finest claim to fame ? the composer declared in 1945. Right from boyhood his attraction to poetry was practically equal to his love of music. And in fact the young Poulenc took to song-writing quite naturally starting in 1919. Poulenc compiled a catalogue of 150 songs a body of works of consistently high quality containing great diversity that marks him out as the last major exponent in this genre. This volume is a selection of Poulenc?s best-known titles in both original and transposed key for highand low voice with new engravings it includes original poems and English translation. This edition belongs to ?Musique vocale française? a series devoted to French vocal repertoire both in original and transposed key designed for students and teachers as well as professionals.

Voix Moyenne Et Piano-Recueil. Par POULENC FRANCIS. Poulenc 's five songs, Poèmes De Ronsard were composed in 1925 during the post-war euphoria. The cycle is essential to aspiring, advanced vocalists of the French art song. Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a highly prolific composer, and remains popular to this day. Poèmes De Ronsard was composed towards the beginning of the composer's career, based on poems by prolific French poet, Pierre de Ronsard. Poèmes De Ronsard is made up of five songs which alternate between lively and slow tempos; 1) Attributes, 2) The Tomb, 3) Ballet, 4) Ionly have the Bones, and 5) On his page. As a song cycle with much variation, Poulenc 's Poèmes De Ronsard is an exciting addition to the Vocal repertoire./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

Poèmes de Guillaume Apollinaire. Par POULENC FRANCIS. « Tant qu?il y aura des poètes, il y aura des mélodies. Si l?on mettait sur ma tombe : ?Ci-gît Francis Poulenc, le musicien d?Apollinaire et d?Éluard?, il me semble que ce serait mon plus beau titre de gloire », déclarait le compositeur en 1945. Depuis l?enfance, son amour de la poésie l?égalait presque à celui de la musique ; c?est à partir de 1919 que le jeune Poulenc en vint à la mélodie. Son catalogue compte enfin 150 mélodies, un corpus de haute tenue, contrasté dans son unité, qui fait sans doute du compositeur le dernier grand représentant du genre. Ces éditions appartiennent à la collection « Musique vocale française », consacrée au repertoire vocal français ici proposé soit en ton original soit transposé.
