DOWNLOAD EBOOKA French Song Companion is an indispensable guide to the modern repertoire and the most comprehensive book of French melodie in any language. Noted accompanist Graham Johnson provides repertoire guides to the work of over 150 composers--the majority of them from France but including British, American, German, Spanish, and Italian musicians who have written French vocal music. The book contains major articles on Faure, Duparc, Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc, as well as essays on Bizet, Chabrier, Gounod, Chausson, Hahn, and Satie, and important reassessments of such composers as Massenet, Koechlin, and Leguerney. The book combines these articles with the complete texts in English of over 700 songs, all translated by Richard Stokes, making it also a treasury of French poetry from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. The translations alone will prove invaluable to music lovers and performers; combined with the biographical articles, they become the ideal map for exploring this exciting and diverse repertoire.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMezzo-soprano Gorrell (music, Winthrop U.) discusses Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942), who was highly regarded as a conductor, composer, pianist, and teacher by leading musicians of his age but whose music was hardly played for about 30 years after his death. Starting with his early years, she discusses his personal and musical life in light of artistic, political, and social events, as well as his associations with other composers, his relationship with Alma Schindler, his early and later unpublished songs, his symphonic songs, and Two Songs, Op. 27, the American songs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy the middle of the century, men were prompted to disdain the decadent and gaudy colors of the pre-Revolutionary period and wear unrelievedly black frock coats suitable to the manly and serious world of commerce. Their wives and daughters, on the other hand, adorned themselves in bright colors and often uncomfortable and impractical laces and petticoats, to signal the status of their family.
