4.9/5 (24858 ratings)

Description:Gabriel Faur�'s m�lodies offer an inexhaustible variety of style and expression that have made them the foundation of the French art song repertoire. During the second half of his long career, Faur� composed all but a handful of his songs within six carefully integrated cycles. Faur� moved systematically through his poetic contemporaries, exhausting Baudelaire's Les fleurs du mal before immersing himself in the Parnassian poets. He would set nine poems by Armand Silvestre in swift succession (1878-84), seventeen by Paul Verlaine (1887-94), and eighteen by Charles Van Lerberghe (1906-14). As an artist deeply engaged with some of the most important cultural issues of the period, Faur� reimagined his musical idiom with each new poet and school, and his song cycles show the same sensitivity to the poetic material. Far more than Debussy, Ravel, or Poulenc, he crafted his song cycles as integrated works, reordering poems freely and using narratives, key schemes, and even leitmotifs to unify the individual songs. The Faur� Song Cycles explores the peculiar vision behind each synthesis of music and verse, revealing the astonishing imagination and insight of Faur�'s musical readings. This book offers not only close readings of Faur�'s musical works but an interdisciplinary study of how he responded to the changing schools and aesthetic currents of French poetry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
