Lemoine Bonnardot Jacqueline - Les Plaisirs Du Ch Vol.3A + Cd - Voix Moyenne Piano

Summary of This Score

Volume 3A of the Plaisirs du chantseries continues a progressive approach: offering students a repertoire that appears accessible but is musically rich. The pieces are intentionally placed within a "medium" vocal range, recommended for starting solid vocal training before specializing in collections dedicated to soprano, mezzo, tenor, or baritone voices.

The program emphasizes rather slow movements: a pedagogical asset, as this tempo requires real work on connection, phrase shaping, and text animation. This collection thus helps the young singer develop musical and poetic sensitivity while learning to sing with economy of means, without overloading the voice.

The first piece, L'Amour de moy(15th century), is offered with a piano accompaniment specially written for this volume, while remaining singable a cappella : an excellent exercise in pitch accuracy and control. The collection also addresses the issue of ornaments and variations, long left to the performers' initiative: the student can draw inspiration from the simple suggestions provided on the CD to regain this reflex of invention and improvisation.

All pieces can be performed by female or male voices without distinction. The CD, recorded with a soprano and a tenor to vary colors, provides a deliberately less "lyric" model to encourage healthy vocal production. The piano accompaniment alone finally serves as an effective support for practicing timing before a session with an accompanist.
