Summary of This Score
This new edition brings together a vast body of Samuel Barber's melodies, offering a vision that is both complete and renewed of his vocal writing. It includes all the pieces previously compiled in Collected Songs and Ten Early Songs, along with many pages that remained unpublished until now, forming a particularly generous collection.
Designed for low and medium voices, this score is intended for both voice students and experienced performers seeking recital, audition, or competition repertoire. Barber's style, simultaneously lyrical, expressive, and attentive to prosody, allows for nuanced work on line, color, and diction, while also providing a genuine stage presence.
The content covers a wide range of moods and characters, from contemplative lyricism to a more narrative vein, with emblematic titles such as "Sure On This Shining Night", "The Daisies", "With Rue My Heart Is Laden", and "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening", as well as pieces with French colors like "DĂ©part" and "Puisque Tout Passe". The commented introduction offers valuable guidance for interpretation and the construction of a coherent program.
