4-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, slightly warped though through shipment
The book is brand new, except it had a slight warp to the binding, otherwise it would've gotten 5 stars.Any book of this size should really come in a spiral-bound format so it lays flat on the music stand.

5-0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted
Excellent edition for vocal study:good translations, good keys, easy to read.An extra added feature is some historical information about individual and groups of songs.

Product Description
The career of Gabriel Faure as a composer of songs for voice and piano traverses six decades (1862-1921); almost the whole history of French melodie is contained within these parameters. In the 1860s Faure, the lifelong protege of Camille Saint-Saens, was a suavely precocious student; he was part of Pauline Viardot's circle in the 70s and he nearly married her daughter. Pointed in the direction of symbolist poetry by Robert de Montesquiou in 1886 and admired by Proust, Faure was the favoured composer of the Princesse de Polignac by the early 1890s. In 1905 he became Director of the Paris Conservatoire and he composed his most profound music in old age. His existence, steadily productive and outwardly imperturbable, was undermined by self-doubt, an unhappy marriage, and a tragic loss of hearing. The distinguished accompanist and song scholar Graham Johnson places the vocal music within twin contexts: Faure's own life story, and the parallel lives of his many poets. We encounter such giants as Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine, the patrician Leconte de Lisle, the forgotten Armand Silvestre and the Belgian symbolist Charles van Lerberghe.The chronological range of the narrative encompasses Faure's first poet, Victor Hugo, who railed against Napoleon III in the 1850s, and the last, Jean de la Ville de Mirmont, killed in action in the First World War. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated study each of Faure's 109 songs receives a separate commentary. Additional chapters for the student singer and serious music-lover discuss interpretation and performance in both aesthetical and practical terms. Richard Stokes provides parallel English translations of the original French texts. In the twenty-first century musical modernity is evaluated differently than it was thirty years ago. Faure is no longer merely a 'Master of Charms' circumscribed by the Belle Epoque. His status as a modern master of timeless significance is now unassailable. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A reference guide to cherish
Don't let the term "Research Studies" put you off. This is anything but a dry academic textbook. Although it is a scholarly work, packed with all kinds of information -- musical, cultural and historical -- the information is always presented in a very readable, approachable and personal way, which makes it as much a book to dip into for pleasure as one to consult for reference. The text is informative without being overly didactic. It is humorous and at times witty but not exaggeratedly so. Johnson often voices his personal opinions but is never opinionated or patronising. His sympathy with Fauré and love of his songs shine through. What adds value to this book is that it is written from the perspective of someone with a lifetime's performing experience of the works discussed, rather than from that of a musicologist who's good on theory but has never ventured onto a concert platform to play or sing them. It is a happy bonus that Johnson's writing style is so elegant. The book takes the reader on a journey through Fauré's life via his songs, pretty much in chronological sequence. Johnson divides up the life and songs in fourteen chapters. A couple more chapters deal with general considerations relating to style and performance. There are rehearsal notes for each song with information on metronome markings and suggested tempi. Of particular interest are the insights on Fauré's own tastes and performance practice, and some fascinating observations from some of the singers with whom the composer worked, as well as those of contemporary composers and literary figures of the period. One Appendix deals with opus number groupings and another discusses tonalities. A general index is followed by an index of poets and settings and a further index of song titles. Richard Stokes' translations are excellent, striking a nice balance between the literal and the literary.

The physical book itself is a joy to handle. The paper is thick and smooth (a good choice for optimum reproduction of the many photographs), the typefaces are crisp and clear and there are illustrations (all black and white) on almost every other page. My only quibble is that the back is glued not sewn. The illustrations consist mainly of contemporary photos and portraits, reproductions of the covers of first editions and musical examples or extracts. The illustrations are generally no larger than quarter-page in size, so there is no sense of being cheated of text. Far from it, the 427 pages of text before you get to Appendixes and Indexes will keep any devotee of Fauré happy for a long while. It seems that Johnson has covered every aspect. The amount of research that has gone into this expensive book makes it worth the price to any singer or pianist. It's not just a book one ought to own, it's a book that is a rare treat to have, to hold and to cherish. ... Read more

Product Description
The vocal score for this classic work, with Latin and English text, edited and arranged for SSA and piano by Desmond Ratcliffe.Amazon.com Review
The requiem--the Roman Catholic mass for the dead--is one ofthose texts that has appealed to countless composers. You wantbombast? You got bombast. You wantserenely-secure-in-the-faith-of-life-everlasting? You got it. But ifyou hunger for a quietly comforting taste of the heavenly andethereal, look no further than Gabriel Fauré's luminous,shimmering setting of the requiem. The Fauré Requiem, when wellperformed, offers calming succor to those who suffer the vicissitudesof grief. The soprano solo "Pie Jesu" is an exquisite prayerthat can hardly fail to move the listener. To see how Fauréachieved his understated but uplifting effects, go through thiscomplete Dover score. Like most Dover editions, this one is a reprintof another publisher's out-of-copyright work, and may contain someout-of-date scholarship. But it is a superb resource for the musician,professional, amateur, or listener. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Answer to Prayer
Fauré's Requiem is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that has ever been written. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to sing in performance of the piece. Ever since, I have been in love with it. Sadly, I was not allowed to keep the score. Finding the full score online was an answer to prayer (figuratively speaking). I now can follow along as I listen to recordings and even sing my part.

The score itself is in wonderful condition. The printing is clear and easy to read. I was, at first, concerned that I would end up with a huge conductor's style score, but it's of normal size without compromising on readability.

Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good deal
This is a great deal for a well-printed score. Beware that there are a couple of different orchestrations for this piece. This is the small orchestra version and there is also a chamber group version. People tend to use the John Rutter edition of the chamber version and that has different rehearsal letters than this one.

Other than that, this is a bargain.

5-0 out of 5 stars Faure'srequiem in full score
This is a beautifully presented score.The type-setting of the music leaves nothing to be desired. The paper it is printed on even has a sensual quality, which matches the music portrayed.
I have already used the score to arrange parts for my wind quintet, and have found the job much easier because of the clear manuscript of the score.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best pieces of Music ever written
Gabriel Faure's REQUIEM still remains the only piece of music that has ever given me goosebumps. The music can go from bone-chilling to heart warming in the matter of a few bars. My choir that I perform with sang the piece in the spring of this year. To date, I have never sung a piece of music that was more masterfully crafted for the voices of a boy choir than I have this one. Faure's music is as inspireing as it is beautiful. I would highly suggest it to anyone eager to create beautiful music.

Product Description
Jean-Michel Nectoux's important new biography of Gabriel Fauré is the most comprehensive study yet of this central figure of fin de siecle France. It traces the composer's life and the rich cultural milieu in which he lived and worked: the world also of Saint-Saens, Flaubert, Verlaine, Ravel, Debussy and Proust. A large part of the book considers Faure's music, with particular emphasis on his adjustment to the musical language of the twentieth century and the formation of his late style. Works in all genres are discussed in detail. The book is the fruit of over twenty years' research by Nectoux, the foremost authority on Gabriel Fauré. He has read more than 5000 previously unpublished letters and has unearthed more than 120 musical manuscripts in the process of writing this definitive study. The text is richly illustrated with rare photographs from Fauré's lifetime and contains an extended chronology of the composer's life, a complete chronological listing of all his own works and a detailed bibliography. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
This English edition of Jean-Michel Nectoux's collection of the complete correspondence of Saint-Saens and Faure features some 130 letters spanning the period from 1862-1920. Immensely significant to the study of French music, these letters throw light upon one of the longest-surviving friendships between two composers in the history of music. They also contain frank exchanges of views on such topics as the music of Wagner, Berlioz, Debussy, Franck and others, the state of musical education in France, and other important artistic figures of fin de siecle Paris including Puvis de Chavannes, Rodin and Fremiet. Barrie Jones's skilful translation of this important body of correspondence captures the often playful, casual, but always stimulating language of both composers. These letters are frequently the sole source for dating certain compositions or discovering projects that were started but then abandoned. They constitute a primary source for appreciation of Saint-Saens's and Faure's compositions, opinions, and working practices. ... Read more

Product Description

"I am immensely impressed by the scholarship and painstakingly detailed analysis." -- George Jellinek

Song by song, this comprehensive study addresses the works of Fauré, Chausson, Duparc, and Debussy, four composers who brought to the magnificent poetry of their contemporaries the delicacy, sensitivity, and voluptuousness that characterize French music from 1865 to 1914.

Amazon.com Review
It's probably safe to say that this book--originally publishedin 1980 and now out in its first paperback edition--is the definitivevolume on the 19th-century oeuvre of French art song as practiced byChausson, Debussy, Duparc, and Fauré. Meister offers anintelligent overall discussion of the anti-Wagnerian aesthetic ofthese four masters of the art song, and examines each of their songsettings in loving and well-informed detail. Translations are providedfrom French to English (and, as in the case of a French version of aShakespeare song, back again from French for a surprisingly differentview), along with observations on the flow of the song andinterpretations. Although bound to be of interest to a small audience,Nineteenth-Century French Song will prove invaluable to anyonewith a regard for this delicate art form, and particularly the singersand pianists who perform it. ...
