Summary of This Score
Thirteen poems by Francis Jammes for voice & piano (ve) bring together a cycle of mélodies where the subtlety of the text and the delicacy of the musical atmospheres are at the forefront. Each piece explores a different emotion, ranging from luminous impulse, intimacy, prayer, dream, to melancholy, with constant attention paid to phrasing and word intelligibility. The piano writing fully participates in the narrative: suggestive harmonies, singing lines, breaths, and expressive accents create a true setting for the voice, while requiring very precise chamber music listening.
This edition offers separate titles, allowing each mélodie to be worked on independently or to build a complete program for concert performance. Among the pieces are: Elle était descendue dans la prairie, Elle est gravement gaie, Un poète dirait, Au pied de mon lit, Si tout ceci n'est qu'un pauvre rêve, Nous nous aimerons tant, Les lilas qui avaient fleuri, Deux Encolies, Parce que j'ai souffert, Je garde une médaille d'elle, Demain fera un an. A particularly relevant choice for singers and pianists wishing to approach the French repertoire of the early 20th century, work on the nuances of the language, and develop a sensitive and narrative interpretation.
