Carmen is the famous opera by Georges Bizet acclaimed for its incredible songs and accurate depiction of emotion. This is the sheet music for the seventh suite Chanson Du Toréador arranged for Piano and Voice. The opera is based on the novel by Prosper Mérimée with lyrics by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. The performance is in the 'opéra comique' genre meaning musical numbers are interrupted by dialogue allowing the opera to bridge the gap between comic musicality and serious realism. Sadly Georges Bizet passed away before he was able to experience Carmen's worldwide popularity.With this Carmen sheet music you can play and perform the Chanson Du Toréador a brilliant song on its own or as part of the entire opera.

Airs pour mezzo soprano (Carmen) et piano · Arien für Mezzosopran und Klavier-Pour amateurs ou professionnels ? voici les célèbres airs pour mezzo-soprano du Carmen de Georges Bizet maintenant en édition critique pour l'étude avec la version piano-chant originale dans une présentation très claire (avec une traduction chantable en allemand pour une meilleure compréhension des textes).

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.
