Italian composer Franceso Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) wrote more than 350 songs, among which were favorites of famous singers, from Caruso and Tetrazzini in his day to Pavarotti and Carreras in ours. With a direct and simple grace and sensual Italianate vocal lines, his works were in some ways an art music reply to the Neapolitan folk tradition. Featuring 30 Tosti songs available for the first time in two keys, these editions present excellent material for teaching the basics of classical singing as well as for the recital stage. They also include translations for study, a biography of the composer, and a select discography. / Voix Et Piano

pour voix moyenne ou grave-The melodies of MAURICE RAVEL (1875-1937) span the entire chronology of his creative output from his earliest song BALLADE DE LA REINE MORTE D`AIMER (1893) written during his student years at the Paris Conservatory to the cycle DON QUICHOTTE ÀDULCINÉE (1932-33) his last compositions in any genre. In his songs Ravel’s text settings display a meticulous attention to detail. Ravel´s melodies are elegant and refined classical in their phrase structure. In his treatment of rhythm Ravelfinds subtlety within traditional meters and dance forms-minuet waltz folk dances (especially Spanish dance) -also shape the rhythm in many of his songs.

Ian Venables’ setting of four poems of A.E. Housman originally scored for tenor solo string quartet and piano here arranged for tenor and piano. Lyrical pieces of intermediate difficulty sometimes elegiac sometimes angry.
