Summary of This Book
Evelyn Lear And Thomas Stewart: Romantic Duets (Voices) brings together a selection of duets that the two artists have explored over more than 30 years of duo recitals. The goal is not to offer an exhaustive anthology, but a representative choice, designed to bring the art of vocal duet to life: shared breathing, coordinated phrasing, synchronized articulation, and blending of timbres.
The collection spans several aesthetics of Romanticism and salon vocal music, alternating intimate, pastoral, or more narrative atmospheres. It notably includes works by Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Antonin Dvorak, Camille Saint-Saëns, Alexander Grechaninov, and Stephen Foster, offering a rich diversity of styles and characters.
Perfect for preparing a concert program, this book also allows for developing essential duet skills: precision of entrances, balance of lines, text comprehension, and dynamic control. The pieces, often concise, are suitable both for study and for integration into a longer recital, with the freedom to build a musical and expressive progression.
The selection includes 12 titles: "Abendlied," "Ai-doo-doo," "Hard Times Come Again No More," "Kolibelnaya," "Maiglockchen Und Die Blumelein," "Mignon Und Der Harfner," "Moznost," "Pastorale," "Schon Blumelein," "Slavikovsky Polecko Maly," "So Wahr Die Sonne Scheinet," and "Weg Der Liebe."
