French 20th Century.
--Gabriel Faure's Opus 7 is a grouping of three songs written between 1870 and 1878 and then published together almost 20 years later.
The songs are:
--Apres une reve (After a Dream) - Faure's most famous song, text by Romain Bussine
--Hymne - also an ethereal love song, text by Charles Baudelaire
--Barcarolle - a flowing song in 6/8 time from a poem by Marc Monnier
--Mr. Sauer has beautifully arranged these songs for advanced performers and provided English translations of the lyrics for better understanding of the spirit of each song.
--Length of the three song set is about 7 minutes.
