The informative text sections contain a Foreword (Fr/Eng), a brief account of the dramatic context and a literal English translation of each aria. About the series: Christoph Willibald Gluck: French Operatic Arias. For the first time all the arias from Christoph Willibald Gluck?s French operas are being published in arrangements for voice and piano. This series, a coproduction with the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles (CMBV), presents this collection according to voice register in four volumes. With their wealth of arias and informative texts, these volumes offer a rich treasure-trove from works by this major 18th-century opera composer for use in voice lessons, auditions and recitals.

The composer Rudolf Kelterborn about his work: ?I call the ten compositions for baritone and piano ?DUOS? because the voice and instrument parts are treated musically with absolute equality and indeed often go their own independent ways. Two duos (?Alles Gold? and ?Gegenlicht in den Bergen?) come from the ?Ensemble-Book I? for baritone and 14 instruments with texts by Erika Burkart (1990).

The 10 duos do not form a complete cycle that can be heard only as an entire work.

Smaller groups can be put together and presented according to text-related or musical aspects. The texts are by authors who have continued to inspire me for years.? / [10 Duos Pour Baryton et Piano] / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

Poulenc's song cycle  Chansons Gaillardes was composed in 1925-1926 during the post-war euphoria. The cycle is essential to aspiring advanced Baritones. Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a highly prolific composer and remains popular to this day. Chansons Gaillardes was composed towards the beginning of the composer's career for Baritone Pierre Bernac. At the first performance Poulenc himself played the piano and the song cycle was immediately a hit. Chansons Gaillardes is made up of eight songs which alternate between lively and slow tempos; 1) TheFickle Mistress 2) Drinking Song 3) Madrigal 4) Summoning the Fates 5) Bacchanalian Couplets 6) The Offering 7) The Beautiful Youth and 8) Serenade. As a song cycle with much variation Poulenc's Chansons Gaillardes is an exciting addition to the Baritone repertoire.

Baritone Voice And Piano Performing Score-Composed in 2012 the two pieces in Sadie Harrison’s Heartoutbursts! take their inspiration from traditional English folk.'...in the folk-song there is to be found the complete history of a people recorded by the race itself through the heartoutbursts of its healthiest output. It is a history compiled with deeper feeling and more understanding than can be found among the dates and data of thegreatest historian...'(Percy Grainger 1922)In 1905 Joseph Taylor won a Lincolnshire folksong competition with his rendition of Brigg Fair a song he had learnt from a gypsy. Australian composer Percy Graingersubsequently published a setting in his Lincolnshire Posy with Delius using the tune in his rhapsody Brigg Fair. Both composers sought to vivify the tradition of English folksong celebrating not only the ancient tunes and words but also the qualities of particular folksingers like Joseph Taylor.Harrison’s own Australian Heartoutbursts! follow unashamedly in the Grainger tradition with echoes of the original folktunes underpinning both songs Brigg Fair and The Seeds of Love. Although different in character both texts use similar images as analogies for the joys and despairing associated with love - the lark and violet symbolize youth the lily as virginity the red rose as true love and the willow representing falsehood and abandonment.
