Clara Schumann 30 Italian Songs and Arias selected and edited by/ Anniversary Roger Nichols Jubiläums-Liederalbum Songbook Hohe Stimme (Originaltonarten) / High (Original) Voice medium-high voice Clara Schumann

Clara Schumann (geb. Wieck) war zweifellos die bedeutendste Pianistin des 19. Jahrhunderts mit einer über 60 Jahre währenden Karriere als gefeierte Klaviervirtuosin. Schon in jungen Jahren bereiste sie als Wunderkind ganz Europa. Ebenso beeindruckend, aber weniger bekannt ist die Komponistin Clara Schumann, die ihr Opus 1 bereits mit elf Jahren veröffentlichte. Ungeachtet ihrer gesellschaftlich auferlegten Pflichten als Frau schuf sie zahlreiche Klavierwerke und Lieder, die denen ihrer männlichen Zeitgenossen in nichts nachstehen. Jedoch ließ es die Anschauung ihrer Zeit nicht zu, Frauen als vollwertige Komponistinnen anzusehen und ihre Werke angemessen zu würdigen.

Dieser Band enthält: • 14 der schönsten Lieder Clara Schumanns in praktischer Neuausgabe • Werkeinführungen zu allen Stücken von Frances Falling, Schumann-Haus Leipzig • CD mit eingespielten Klavierbegleitungen

Clara Schumann (1819–1896) Jubiläums-Liederalbum / Anniversary Songbook Inhalt / Contents: 1. Walzer (Lyser) 2. Er ist gekommen in Sturm und Regen (Rückert) op. 12 Nr. 2

Clara Schumann (née Wieck) was undoubtedly the most important female pianist of the 19th century. As a young child she toured Europe as a prodigy: her entire career as a celebrated piano virtuoso spanned more than 60 years.

3. Liebst du um Schönheit (Rückert) op. 12 Nr. 4

Equally important, but less well known, is the composer Clara Schumann, who published her Opus 1 at the age of eleven. Despite the domestic duties expected of a woman at that time, she created numerous outstanding piano works and songs that are at least the equal of those of her male contemporaries. However, society at that time did not allow women to be regarded as fully-fledged composers or for their works to be appreciated adequately.

5. Am Strande (Gerhard, nach / after Burns)

To help give this important composer the recognition she deserves, Edition Peters, in collaboration with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, is now, on the occasion of her 200th birthday, publishing this Anniversary Songbook. The 14 songs, representing the pinnacle of Clara’s art, were composed mainly in the period after her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann – who was her greatest champion.

6. Mein Stern (Serre; engl. Wray) 7. Ich stand in dunklen Träumen (Heine) op. 13 Nr. 1 8. Sie liebten sich beide (Heine) op. 13 Nr. 2 9. Liebeszauber (Geibel) op. 13 Nr. 3 10. Der Mond kommt still gegangen (Geibel) op. 13 Nr. 4

VOCAL HIGHLIGHTS 2022 Selected highlights from the extensive range of music for voice published by Edition Peters since 1800 from its three offices in Leipzig, London and New York.

www.editionpeters.com

The Edition Peters vocal catalogue remains unrivalled in the range of repertoire it offers singers: the most up-to-date Urtext editions sit alongside an extraordinarily diverse choice of works by many of the world’s leading contemporary composers. Musicians the world over instantly recognize the iconic green covers of the Edition Peters Green Series, launched in Leipzig in 1867. At a fraction of the price of any other edition, it revolutionized the music industry, and quickly became a global phenomenon. It offered the chance for everyone to access music in excellent and reliable editions, beautifully typeset, and at affordable prices. The Green Series and the principles that created it now form the bedrock of our vocal catalogue. Virtually all the core vocal repertoire can be found in excellent Green Series editions, including the iconic Lieder editions by Max Friedländer of the works of Brahms, Schubert and Schumann. Singers worldwide have remained loyal to the Green Series editions of opera vocal scores, due to the practicality and usability of these scores, edited by conductors and editors with impeccable musical credentials. This includes Felix Mottl, who worked at Bayreuth in 1876 on the premiere production of the Ring des Niebelungen and subsequently edited the operas for Edition Peters. Recent releases include landmark Urtext editions of the works for voice by Duparc, Fauré and Grieg, a range of essential and thought-provoking anthologies including the selected songs of Clara Schumann, and contemporary song anthologies by Jonathan Dove and Errollyn Wallen. Throughout its history Edition Peters has cultivated direct working relationships with the world’s leading composers. Edvard Grieg enjoyed a lifelong friendship with the owners of Edition Peters, Max Abraham and his nephew Henri Hinrichsen (who succeeded him as Managing Director of the company), and their association created the principles of modern composer/publisher relationships, with the signing of the first ever general con¬tract. Edition Peters even paid for the land on which Grieg and Nina built their beloved home, Troldhaugen. A commitment to cutting-edge music was continued boldly in the 20th century. Edition Peters was, for example, the original publisher of new music by Gustav Mahler, Max Reger, Arnold Schoenberg and Richard Strauss. Today, the Edition Peters Group is proud to celebrate a list of thriving living composers working across the world. A commitment to cutting-edge music was continued boldly in the 20th century. Edition Peters was, for example, the original publisher of new music by Gustav Mahler, Max Reger, Arnold Schoenberg and Richard Strauss. Today, the Edition Peters Group is proud to celebrate a list of thriving living composers working across the world. Our modern vocal catalogue includes much of the most important music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including era-defining works by Cathy Berberian, Mauricio Kagel, George Crumb and John Cage. This is music that pioneered new territory for vocal technique, bringing new challenges to singers. Any inquisitive singer delving into this new repertoire will be rewarded with music that challenges, provokes and inspires.

The history of Edition Peters is a fascinating story, touched by tragedy. Dr. Henri Hinrichsen - former Chairman of the German Music Publishers Association, close friend of countless composers and owner of Edition Peters - was murdered in Auschwitz on 17th September 1942. In total 13 members of the extended Hinrichsen family perished in the Holocaust. A proud German publishing house was thrown into existential crisis and survived as an international firm thanks to the courage and tenacity of Hinrichsen’s sons Max and Walter who set up firms in London and New York respectively after the War. A proud German publishing house was thrown into existential crisis and survived as an international firm thanks to the courage and tenacity of Hinrichsen’s sons Max and Walter, who set up firms in London and New York respectively after World War II. More than 200 years after it was first established, Edition Peters is now unified into one Group, majority-owned by the Hinrichsen Foundation, alongside a direct Hinrichsen family heir. One of the few truly independent classical music publishers, Edition Peters Group remains committed to serving the needs of musicians at any level across the world.

Contemporary Since 1800 Edition Peters has put contemporary music at the heart of its activities since its earliest days.

Our global list of new music offers an endlessly rich spectrum and continues to expand. With offices in Leipzig, London and New York we are able to reflect and respond to the latest trends in contemporary music, with our local knowledge applied to an international stage.

Vaccai, Nicola (1790–1848)

Italian songs and arias of the 17th and 18th centuries have for many years been essential repertoire for anyone learning to sing. But this music is prinicpally known in romantic adaptations which the original composers would barely recognize.

(It./Ger. with music, Fr./Eng. separately) High.......................................................................................EP 2073a High.........................................................................................Q 2073a (Includes piano accompaniment CD) Medium..................................................................................EP 2073b Medium....................................................................................Q 2073b (Includes piano accompaniment CD) Low.........................................................................................EP 2073c Low...........................................................................................Q 2073c (Includes piano accompaniment CD)

This new collection of 30 songs and arias (based on the ‘standard 24’, together with other pieces typical of the Italian style) recreates the clearer and cleaner – and easier to play – accompaniment style of the 17th and 18th centuries. I am delighted to see Parisoltti’s ubiquitous anthology recast with such learned courtesy. Roger Nicholas has shed all outdated features, adding instead invaluable information and suggestions; this choice of pieces celebrates even bette rthe genius of Italian baroque song, and I hope to see it used everywhere!

19th- and 20th-Century Repertoire Complete with translations and guidance on pronunciation As every singer and lover of French opera knows, editions of even the best-known French operatic arias are difficult – and sometimes expensive – to obtain. Roger Nichols' scrupulously balanced selection of 19th-century French arias provides the perfect starting point for wider exploration. Nichols, who has championed French music in his writings, talks and radio broadcasts over three decades with eloquence and scholarship, is the ideal guide to this repertoire which, even today, is often neglected, misunderstood or inadequately performed.

Traditional Jewish art with its many folk elements is a permanent fixture in our cultural life today. In recent years klezmer music has achieved special popularity. It is not widely known, however, that besides this purely instrumental style there also exists an independent vocal form of traditional Jewish music: the songs of the Sephardic Jews. With its musical transcriptions, trilingual song texts and explanations, the Sephardic Songbook offers interested singers and ethnomusicologists a representative body of melodies from the Judeo-Spanish tradition nurtured in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire.

19th-Century Repertoire Complete with translations and guidance on pronunciation (Fr.) Edited by Roger Nichols Complete with translations and guidance on pronunciation. As every singer and lover of French opera knows, editions of even the best-known French operatic arias are difficult – and sometimes expensive – to obtain. Roger Nichols' scrupulously balanced selection of 19th-century French arias provides the perfect starting point for wider exploration. Nichols, who has championed French music in his writings, talks and radio broadcasts over three decades with eloquence and scholarship, is the ideal guide to this repertoire which, even today, is often neglected, misunderstood or inadequately performed.

Operatic Arias

Edited by David Fanning This landmark series opens up exciting vistasof challenging and rewarding repertoire for the discerning and adventurous singer. As with the Edition Peters companion volumes of French Operatic Arias, this Russian series presents many of the justly celebrated arias, but also juxtaposes them with other less familiar gems, which undoutedly deserve wider recognition.

Written as part of the 200 Pieces project to mark the bicentenary of the Royal Academy of Music, the piece features texts by William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Virgil and Friedrich Hebbel, collated by the composer.

Voice and Piano, with Optional Violin Obbligato Includes versions for high, medium or low voice

Gounod wrote the first version of this famous song in 1852 and it was published in Decemberof that year by Mayaud as 'Premier prélude de J.S. Bach'. The words were by Lamartine – 'Vers sur un album' from his Recueillments poétiques of 1839. Exactly when these words were supplanted by those of the 'Ave Maria' is not clear, but it seems to have happened within the first few years of the song's life. In the view of Maurice Ravel, that sharp critic of everything shoddy or meretricious, 'the true founder of the mélodie in France was Charles Gounod.'

Music for the Dance-Drama choreographed by Merce Cunningham

Solo Voice by Composer Crumb, George (1929–2022)

Dove, Jonathan

Famous for his beautiful, conceptual music notation – often combining traditional stave notation with symbolic imagery (for example, the circular scores found in works such as Star-Child or the “peace symbol” staves in Makrokosmos) – Crumb’s ear was finely tuned to an amazing palette of timbral possibility, which he deployed in works of extraordinary colour and power. Once described by the New York Times as “the reluctant poet of moonlit dreams and Blakelike visions,” Crumb’s music derived impetus from his comprehensive knowledge of, and love for, the great classical repertory, which he first encountered as a child in his father’s collection of scores; from the modernism of Bartók, Webern, Stravinsky and Debussy, which he studied under Ross Lee Finney at the University of Michigan and later with Boris Blacher at Tanglewood and in Berlin; and also from the wider range of traditional and popular music that he heard his parents perform and that he himself played for some years as a student.

I could not recommend it more highly. Dame Janet Baker

The text for Après un rêve is by a friend of Fauré, Romain Bussine, a professor of singing at the Paris Conservatoire. It is loosely based on an anonymous Tuscan poem, and both texts were included when the song was published in 1878. The original key was C minor, but Fauré authorised a D minor transposition shortly afterwards.

Dvořák, Antonín (1841–1904) • Song to the Moon (Nichols).....................................................EP 7696 from Russalka (Czech. / Eng.)

Rusalka was the ninth of Dvořák's ten operas. The libretto for this 'lyrical fairy-tale' is by Jaroslav Kvapil, based on the story 'Undine' by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The premiere, at the Prague National Theatre on 31 March 1901, was a resounding triumph and since then Rusalka has remained the most successful of Dvořák's opera. As John Tyrell has written, 'The composer found a vein of melodic poignancy that memorably sets off his heroine: for many years Rusalka's 'Hymn to the Moon' was all that was known abroad of Dvořák's vast operatic output.' Although 'Hymn to the Moon' is the title often given to this aria, 'Song to the Moon' is perhaps nearer to the meaning of the words. The water nymph Rusalka has fallen in love with the Prince, who often comes to bathe in her lake, and she longs to become human so that he can hold her in his arms. The water goblin Vodnik warns her against taking this step, but tells her that, if she insists, she must consult the witch Jezibaba. Before doing so, Rusalka prays to the moon to tell the Prince that she is waiting for him. The tale ends tragically, with the Prince's death and Rusalka's return to a lonely life beneath the waters.

Despite the marking of Andantino,the tempo of the song has often been reduced to one of sentimental moping. But recordings of singers who worked with Fauré, including Claire Croiza and Charles Panzera, tell us that q = 66 is a minimum speed: this is a passionate, almost angry song. Although Fauré was insistent about maintaining tempi, some broadening does seem called for around the high note in bar 31, and possibly on the third ‘reviens’ in bars 42–43. If, in order to emphasise the last line, you make a break for the comma before ‘ô nuit’ in bar 43, therewill obviously be no liaison here; on the other hand, it might seem unduly fussy to observe the comma before ‘ô nuit’ in bar 35, especially if you also observe the comma in bar 36. The piano part should be richly pedaled, with a new pedal for each harmony. One of the joys of the song is that these are so irregularly placed – pianists, be aware! Also, in playing the B flat minor version, go gently on the low B flats in the last two bars." Extract from the Preface by Roger Nichols

Solo Voice by Composer • Complete Songs (Fr.) (Howat/Kilpatrick)

With texts in French, English and German Numbering more than 100 in total, and composed across a 60-year period, Gabriel Fauré’s songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song. Despite their importance, the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources, along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré. Above all, it is a practical edition, informed by extensive work with musicians in performances, masterclasses and workshops.

Vol. 3 High.......................................................................EP 11393a Complete Verlaine Settings Vol. 3 Medium..................................................................EP 11393b Complete Verlaine Settings Gabriel Fauré’s seventeen settings of the poetry of Paul Verlaine mark the biggest single stylistic leap of his compositional career, and arguably one of the high points of the entire art song repertoire. This new edition contains the three individual settings Claire de lune, Spleen and Prison together with the Op. 58 “Venetian” songs and the magnificient cycle La Bonne Chanson.

Vol. 1 High..........................................................................EP 11391a Vol. 1 Medium.....................................................................EP 11391b This first volume contains all songs written up to 1882, encompassing many of Fauré’s most well-known and loved songs, including Après un rêve, Le papillon et la fleur and Au bord de l’eau. The volume includes a preface in French, English and German, and translations into English and German of the original poetry.

Gabriel Faure wrote his Vocalises for students at the Paris Conservatoire, where he was director. Until now, they have remained unknown in the French National Archives; this first edition provides a fascinating resource, equally valuable as vocal exercises and for sight-singing.

Solo Voice by Composer Franck, César (1822–1890) • Panis angelicus. (Latin/Eng,)............................................EP 71799 for Voice & Piano (3 Keys in One Series High/Medium/Low) (G, F and E flat)

The words for Panis angelicus are from a longer hymn text, Sacris Solemnis, written by St Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century for the newly established Feast of Corpus Christi, and would originally have been sung to a plainchant.

Opp. 58–70 and EG 121–157

César Franck set this verse of seven lines in 1872. His deep religious feelings fashioned a memorable melody, one which is within the scope of all singers – its range is only a seventh and, if you follow the word patterns, the breathing sits comfortably. The Latin words are not hard to sing, but if you prefer to perform it in English, the translation conveys the essential meaning. Franck originally wrote Panis angelicus for tenor, cello, harp, organ and double bass, but it slips easily into the keyboard arrangement.

.......................................EP 7958 (Includes CD with pronunciation guide and piano accompaniments)

Griffes died tragically early at the age of 35 from Spanish Flu in New York in 1920. During his travels in Europe he was deeply influenced by both German Romanticism (being briefly taught by Englebert Humperdinck) and also later by the Impressionist movement. The songs published by Edition Peters represent both of these periods in his short but influential compositional life.

EDVARD GRIEG

and his publisher The relationship between Edvard Grieg and his publishers Edition Peters was one of the closest and most successful in music history. A warm friendship developed between Grieg and Max Abraham, the owner of Peters, and subsequently between Grieg and Henri Hinrichsen, Abraham’s nephew and successor as manager of the publishing house. Grieg would often visit and stay with the family at their home (and headquarters of Peters) at Talstrasse 10 on his frequent visits to Leipzig, and composed much of his famous Peer Gynt there. Abraham ensured Grieg had financial stability throughout his lifetime so he could concentrate fully on his composing, and paid for the land on which Grieg built his longed-for home at Troldhaugen, Norway.

‘With distinguish’d glory shine, to add a lustre to this day’. In 1713 Handel set this joyful text, an Ode to Queen Anne, to one of his most exquisite melodies. A tender work of extraordinary grace, ‘Eternal Source of Light Divine’ is music befitting a royal celebration.

Hovhaness, Alan (1911–2000) Alan Hovhaness was born Alan Vaness Chakmakjian on 8 March 1911 in Somerville, Massachusetts, to an Armenian father and a mother of Scottish descent. His music is characterized by a direct simplicity of expression, a fondness for modal harmonies, reference to folk-music of various kinds (particularly Armenian, Oriental and Indian music) and an expression of the beauty and vastness of nature. Much of his music is spiritual in nature, a reflection of his life-long interest in meditation and mysticism.

"Voi, che sapete” is sung by Cherubino, an aristocratic page to Count Almaviva, in whose palace the drama takes place. During Act II, Cherubino visits his godmother, the Countess, and her maid Susanna. Knowing his adolescent infatuation with all women, Susanna encourages him to sing a love song he has written (a veiled confession of his love for the Countess), while she accompanies him on the guitar. The part of Cherubino is played by a woman - as it is in the Beaumarchais play on which the opera is based. In its immediacy, the aria perfectly depicts the mind-set of a bewildered young man in love. He’s naturally rather proud of his ‘song’ and the outer sections convey a studious formality in the polite words about love, conventional harmony and attractive tune. However, as he describes his symptoms, the language and harmony grow more colourful, the phrases shorten, and his true feelings emerge. The possibilities for a personal interpretation of the aria are wide; you do not have to perform it in the character of a teenage boy.

for Voice & Piano (3 Keys in One Series High/Medium/Low) from "Madam Butterfly" Gb, (original version) E, D Original Italian with English singing translation

Hope and trust are at the centre of this aria, from Act II of Madama Butterfly. Cio Cio San (Butterfly) has been waiting for her American husband Pinkerton for three years, ever since he left for naval duty immediately after their honeymoon. There is no doubt in her mind that he will return. The scene she describes is one she has doubtless r ehearsed in her mind from the moment he left, but now that she's reassuring her servant Suzuki, it takes on a new immediacy.

Dido's Lament is one of the emotional highlights of Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas. This touching and dramatic scene in which Dido, Queen of Carthage laments the farewell to her beloved hero Aeneas, is impressively set to music by Purcell.

Presented here in three keys for a range of voices, this is Musetta's Waltz from the start of Act II of La Boheme.

In the aftermath of the destruction of Troy, Aeneas escapes across the Mediterranean to Carthage, the great Phoenician city built around the eighth century BC, and ruled by Dido as its queen. He and Dido fall in love.

Act II opens in the Latin Quarter of Paris on Christmas Eve. A group of bohemian friends are gathered in a café when coquettish Musetta arrives in typically flamboyant style with a wealthy, old admirer in tow. She clearly takes pleasure in her looks and the effect she has on others, but her real aim in this aria is to attract the attention of her former lover, Marcello.

But Aeneas is destined to be the founder of the city of Rome and is obliged to travel onwards; however, Dido is unable to face life without him. Purcell gives Dido this lament - an intimate and conclusive disclosure - as she reveals to her sister, the handmaiden Belinda, her approaching death.

Puccini makes this feeling plain, but touches of elegance and humour give the aria its special quality.

When asked, Rachmaninoff told her, “It has no need of words, when you can convey everything better, and with more feeling, with your voice and interpretation”.

Ellen is going with her father to Stirling, where he intends to give himself up to the King to prevent a bloody war. They take refuge for the night in a wild and rocky place, reputedly haunted by “fays and satyrs”. Her “melting voice attends the strings” of the harp of their faithful minstrel, Allan-bane.

Vol.2: 87 Songs Clara Schumann (née Wieck) was undoubtedly the most important female pianist of the 19th century. As a young child she toured Europe as a prodigy: her entire career as a celebrated piano virtuoso spanned more than 60 years. Equally important, but less well known, is the composer Clara Schumann, who published her Opus 1 at the age of eleven. Despite the domestic duties expected of a woman at that time, she created numerous outstanding piano works and songs that are at least the equal of those of her male contemporaries. However, society at that time did not allow women to be regarded as fully-fledged composers or for their works to be appreciated adequately. To help give this important composer the recognition she deserves, Edition Peters, in collaboration with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, published, on the occasion of her 200th birthday, this Anniversary Songbook. The 14 songs, representing the pinnacle of Clara’s art, were composed mainly in the period after her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann – who was her greatest champion.

Newark-born composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey is a composer and musician who occupies a unique space in and between spontaneous and formal composition. An artist whose work has proven impossible to categorize, he has maintained a lifelong interest in establishing an alternative musical model that celebrates genre mobility both as an artistic ideal and a compositional attitude.

Smyth, Ethel (Dame) (1858–1944) English composer Dame Ethel Smyth spent a year studying at the Mendelssohn Leipzig Conservatory with Carl Reinecke, during which time she met the amongst many others, the composers Dvořák, Grieg, Tchaikovsky. And most interestingly, Clara Schumann. Her time in Leipzig is documented by a series of letters recently published by the Conservatory. Max Abraham and his nephew Henri Hinrichsen proprietors of Edition Peters, were early passionate and powerful advocates of the education of women (founding and building the Henriette Goldschmitt Schule for women in Leipzig). Abraham met Smyth during her time in Leipzig (Abraham was on the board of trustees of the Hochschule) and published four early works by Smyth. Dame Ethel Smyth was a prominent member of the suffragette movement. Her works were unjustifiably neglected for decades but are now being rediscovered and celebrated in a resurgence of interest and high-profile performances.

....................................EP 73555 A D-Day Celebration for Soprano, Double Bass and Piano Commissioned by a small festival in Orbec (Normandy) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the D-Day, on 6th June 1994, Les Messages Personnels is one of Dubugnon's early works, written while he was still a student at the Paris Conservatoire. He devised the story, wrote the lyrics and composed the music for this piece which became one of his most widely performed compositions in the 1990s. As a music-theatre work, it involves some acting from the three performers. The title "messages personnels" refers to the coded radio messages the French were sending from London to the Resistance on the continent. There are hints of post-Debussy and Scriabinesque influences as well as jazz and funk, which was the music Dubugnon was listening to for much of his time as a student. Vocal score. Double Bass part available separately (EP73555a)

Solo Voice with various instruments Ferneyhough, Brian (*1943) Brian Ferneyhough is widely recognized as one of today's foremost living composers. Since the mid-1970s, when he first gained widespread international recognition, his music has earned him an enviable reputation as one of the most influential creative personalities and significant musical thinkers on the contemporary scene.

Peris' highly successful arrangement of the work includes the participation of a Mezzo-Soprano soloist to whom he assigns a leading rolo: the voice takes on the melody of the first violin whenever the textual sentence corresponds to the musical phrase, singing Jesus' words as an overlay to the string writing.

Haydn, Joseph (1732–1809) • The Seven last Words of Christ.....................................EP 72163 Arranged by José Peris Lacasa for Voice and String Quartet

This new version of perhaps Haydn's most spiritual work has received many high-profile performances, notably for the name day celebrations of Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in March 2010 by the Henschel Quartet and the Mezzo-Soprano Susanne Kelling. Haydn was commissioned to write the work in 1787 by two enlightened priests based in Cadiz, Spain for a religious gathering to meditate on the death of Christ at a local oratory (Santa Cueva). The resulting work consists of an introduction followed by seven short sonatas for string quartet concluding with a movement imitating the earthquake that according to the Gospels followed Christ's death. Originally each of the sonatas was performed after a short commentary on each of Jesus' words or phrases by a priest. From the introduction to the last movement Haydn adopts rhythm as an essential element of his compositional technique, which becomes its leading motive, providing dramatic cohesion and continuity to the musical discourse. The final eight bars illustrate this well, symbolising the suspense between life and death. As Professor Peris comments: "We should see in Haydn's Seven Last Words an innermost spiritual experience that reaches the most profound levels of the human condition."

(Fr.) (Nichols).................................................EP 7589 Flower Duet from Lakmé. Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano & Piano Lakmé is set in a province of nineteenth-century India under British rule, and the opening scene, during which this duetis heard, takes place in the beautiful gardenof the temple built by the Brahmin priest, Nilakantha. He hates the British invaders (for one thing, they have forbidden him to practise his religion) and the plot hinges around the clash between this hatred and the love between his daughter Lakmé and the British officer Gérald. Before Gérald appears, Lakmé and her slave Mallika sing this duet as they prepare to bathe in the river

from The Pearl Fishers Tenor, Baritone & Piano (Nichols)

This edition prints both Bizet's own 1863 version of the duet and the later version of 1887-8, made by his publisher Choudens after the composer's death and based on no known autograph material. While familiarity and the influence of available recordings will no doubt dispose some to choose the later version, it is worth noting a contemporary review of the original: 'there followed a duet for baritone and tenor which contains the finest inspiration in the opera, a kind of prayer, very nearly the work of a master, which was greeted with unamimous applause."

Album of 50 Songs (Ger.) (Moser)

from Hänsel und Gretel (Nichols)

A firm favourite with singers of all ages, this simple but moving duet is now attractively presented in this new edition. Hansel and Gretel is one of the most-performed operas ever written – within a year of its premiere in Weimar in 1893 it had been performed 50 times in Germany alone. In Act I Hansel and Gretel have annoyed their Mother by dancing when they should have been making brooms and knitting. In her anger the Mother knocks over the jug of milk, the only food in the house. She sends the children out into the nearby forest to pick strawberries, but when the Father returns he is horrified, because this is where the Witch lives in her gingerbread cottage. He and the Mother go out to find their Children. In Act II, after the children have picked and then eaten the strawberries, a mist arises and, when it clears, there is the Sandman, a smallgrey figure with a sack on his back. He throws sand in their eyes and, after they say their evening prayer, they fall asleep in each other's arms. After the prayer, the mist descends again and turns into a magic staircase, down which comes the fourteen angels of whom they sang, to surround them and keep them safe through the night.
