Opera with a Prologue and four Acts (First version) / Opera in five Acts (Second version) Dialogue versions. Par GOUNOD CHARLES. Charles Gounod’s “Faust” secured its international recognition in the version as an entirely sung opera, which from thenceforth has largely obscured the fact that the work was originally composed with spoken dialogues. The early versions staged prior to the 1869 performance at the Paris Opéra containing substantial unknown material and with dialogues and melodramas are the subject of this new edition. (The third version “version opera” was published in a separate edition BA 8713 in 2016.) Even as the rehearsals were taking place at the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1858, during the first series of performances at the theatre in 1859, furthermore as the 1862 revival was approaching and during the performances on the smaller stage at the Place du Châtelet, there were constant changes and revisions. It is, thus, impossible to identify manifestly definitive versions. Nevertheless, by drawing on the entire source material now at hand (including fascinating material only recently discovered) and on the whole gamut of aspects communicated by the reception, Paul Prévost systematically presents us with a score laid out in two main versions in whose chronology constancy and change become transparent. With all the musical changes having been documented, the result is a practicable score for performances which reveals a still far too unknown “Faust” – a “Faust” that is rooted in the tradition of the opéra comique. Quite a few musical numbers are published as a score for the first time in this edition: the trio for Faust, Wagner and Siebel “À l’étude ô mon maître”, the duet of Valentin and Marguerite “Adieu, mon bon frère!”, Méphistophélès’ air “Maître Scarabée”, Siebel’s romance “Versez vos chagrins dans mon âme!”, Valentin’s air with chorus “Chaque jour, nouvelle affaire”, the chorus of witches “Un deux et trois”, and also seven melodramas whose missing or incomplete orchestration has been written for our edition. It was only recently that the long-lost second part of Faust’s original cavatina “Salut! demeure chaste et pure” was unearthed. Only in details of orchestration do other numbers differ from the well-known pieces./ Répertoire / Opéra

Written as a wedding present for two of the composer?s friends Come live with me sets Christopher Marlowe?s archetype of the late renaissance ?Pastoral Style? The Passionate Shepherd to His Love. As a nod to the great traditions of Elizabethan and Victorian partsong writing this setting is predominantly homophonic. Taking an A-B-A-coda structure the sweeping melody of the opening section (rising and falling like ?craggy mountains?) is later reprieved in a more luscious harmonization and continues to form the basis of the soprano and tenor duet during the coda. In the B section (?There will I make thee beds of roses?) the texture elaborates to more contrapuntal linesof dialogue between upper and lower voices with the passion reaching a understated zenith in the soprano 1 and tenor 1 rhapsodic rising duet under which the parts twine themselves around each other like ?leave of myrtle?.An imaginative setting closely allied with the text Come live with me is an exciting addition to the contemporary repertoire of choral music on the theme of love.

With more than a nod to the original recording by Steely Dan Mike takes this tune to new heights in his funky and stylized version. Featuring a tenor and trombone duet at the top this chart is also a great feature vehicle forguitar. However the flexible solo section allows you to feature just about any instrument you choose.

It's got soul - it's got rhythm - it's got spirit - it's a great piece to sing. With barely a nod to the classic Spiritual Ellen Foncannon has created her own spirited tune and gospel-type words. The character of the song lends itself to either church or school. Great for high school choirs and festivals too. Easy.

'Half-Past Two' is a rock piece for young band intended to reinforce and deepen the students' understanding of dotted quarter/eighth note rhythms, providing a vehicle for this concept that is fun and memorable for both students and audiences. The title is both an homage to time-inspired rock songs ('25 or 6 to 4,' 'Rock Around the Clock,' 'Midnight Hour,' etc. . . .) and a nod to the concept being taught---placing a note halfway past beat two.

Commissioned by the US Army Jazz Ambassadors this arrangement by Eric Richards shines new light on the beauty and depth of the classic Beatles hit. An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to hints of samba and songo but alwayswith a smooth and laidback feel. Piano solo is featured off the top followed by a trio of tenor trombone and guitar on the head and later solo space for one or more of these players. A brief nod to the classical feel of theoriginal Beatles track helps build to aclimactic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!

Brightly driven with energy this setting will let you experience this holiday favorite in a new fresh way. Each entertaining verse is written with musical variation but is still easy to learn and remember. Wonderful for developing choirs by keeping interest and achieving success it offers a delightful nod to the classic feel of the holidays and will be a wonderful Thanksgiving selection too!
