Summary of This Score
At the crossroads between the romance and the birth of the French mélodie, Charles Gounod holds an essential place: like Berlioz at the same time, he brings a new prominence to the mélodie, a demand for line, and a fine attention to the natural "singing" of the language. In his early works, he relies on beautiful texts and shapes the melodic curve while respecting the poet's rhythm, making this repertoire particularly formative for understanding the text, articulation, and musicality.
This anthology, offered by Éditions Henry Lemoine and presented in the spirit of Jacqueline Bonnardot, gathers selected pieces to foster a greater appreciation of these works and to bring them back to the heart of programs. It constitutes an excellent resource to enrich a classical singing repertoire for high voice with piano, whether to prepare a recital, vary expressive colors, or deepen the balance between voice and accompaniment.
Contents: L'Absent, Aubade (V. Hugo), Rêverie (J. Barbier), Beware! (H.W. Longfellow), Ma Belle Amie est morte (Th. Gautier), Heureux sera le jour (P. de Ronsard), Sérénade (V. Hugo), Chanson de printemps (E. Tourneux), Mignon (L. Gallet), Au Rossignol (A. de Lamartine).
