Par BIZET GEORGES. Les Pêcheurs de Perles, opéra en 3 actes de Georges Bizet. Livret de Michel Carré and Eugène Cormon. Version original de 1863, orchestrations complémentaires de Arthur Hammond. Pour chant et piano, paroles françaises et anglaises./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Bizet’s opera Les Pecheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishers) is an exquisite combination of emotional turmoil and pervasive sadness containing a ceaselessly seductive score. Taken from the opera Au Fond Du Temple Saint is one of the most famous arias ever written for tenor and baritone voice and is available here with a piano accompaniment.The libretto for the opera was written in French by Eugene Cormon and Michel Carre. This edition has been edited by Roger Nichols and contains a preface critical commentary and the Duet text which has been translated into English and German. Note that the text written in the score is in French only.

Although almost unanimously condemned by contemporary Parisian critics for its overt sexuality and graphic final scene Carmen ultimately reached the public in a way that perhaps no other opera has. Bizet's aim (with Meilhac and Halevy who wrote the libretto) had been to transform the flaccid moralistic bourgeois genre of opéra comique into a more sophisticated type of staged work and he seems to have suceeded in Carmen. Each character has a musical significance and a unique expressive idiom the ultimate example being the dangerous exotic sensual Carmen herself depicted by an exotic and sinewy chromatic motive that also implies the insurmountable power of fate. Ina classic plot device she is contrasted with the 'good girl' of the opera Micaela whose main aria is set in the ternary form of the elevated bel canto French Grand Opera aria to imply her traditionally 'ladylike' retiring nature. Don José's musical styles reflect different levels in his descent from dutiful soldier to the underworld of obsession. This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score with an English translation by Ruth and Thomas Martin.

pour chant et piano. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Tout au long de sa carrière, Camille Saint-Saëns compose quelque cent cinquante mélodies. Peu de temps avant de sa mort en 1921, il fait ses adieux à la mélodie en nous livrant les Trois Vieilles Chansons. Avec les Cinq Poèmes de Ronsard, composés en 1921, ce recueil nous montre Saint-Saëns revenant à la poésie des XVe et XVIe siècles à laquelle Charles Gounod, Georges Bizet ou encore Jules Massenet avaient déjà puisé. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
