45 Vocalises

Description

Medium-High Voice

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: 45 vocalises for voice and piano, arranged progressively and ranging from elementary to virtuosic

Written by Faure specifically to test and develop vocal suppleness, articulation, voice placement and musicality

Content:

• Vocalises 1-29
• Appendix 2: Dictations (usable as unaccompaniedvocalises)
• Appendix 1: Unattributed vocalises probably by Fauré (in technically progressiveorder)
• Critical Commentary (engl. only)
