35 Mélodies - 35 Songs (Medium/Low Voice): Gesang mit Klavier

This edition belongs to Musique vocale française, a series devoted to French vocal repertoire designed for students and teachers as well as professionals. With music available in original and transposed keys, these two editions of Camille Saint-Saëns songs for high and medium/low voice include 35 songs with original poems and English translations. The texts he chose for his music are proof of his excellent literary taste. It is not always easy to see a clear logic when looking at the entire corpus of the composer’s melodies, coming to a total of around one-hundred and twenty works. Camille Saint-Saëns was one of the composers responsible for bringing nobility to French melody, thus paving the way for the generation, that of Gabriel Fauré and Henri Duparc, which would elevate it to its highest level.
