Gabriel Faure: 50 Songs: The Vocal Library High Voice

This has all the songs in the keys I want at an excellent price. Very clear format. I'm most satisfied.

Item was in good condition; I have nothing to complain about.

Antologia delle «mélodies» di Fauré: selezione accurata da vari cicli e raccolte, che accosta alle pagine celebri brani spesso altrettanto belli, addirittura sorprendenti. La cura editoriale è di alta classe: ogni brano è corredato da un esauriente dossier informativo e dal testo originale con traduzione inglese.

This was definitely one of my best purchases! The book was in perfect condition, the text and translation is the right font and is very informative. I appreciate the fact that the index has two sides, one chronological side and the other alphabetical. The preface is very educational and shows a singer how to approach performing the delicate genre of melodie. I highly recommend this book for any level singer who shows in interest in Faure, Melodie, or building up their repertoire library.

Great book; these is a lot of songs to choose from. I could not find a better book for myself and my students.

Beautiful songs, though the transposition to medium voice is only one or two halftones from the original, not so much for deeper men's voices.

This is the Fauré collection that most tenor and soprano students will purchase. The companion "Low Voice" edition is for lower voice types. My only pet peeve (as an accompanist, playing the pieces for personal enjoyment rather than learning), is that many of the pieces have been transposed, so if one wanted only the pieces in original keys, they would have to also buy the "Low Voice" edition and go back and forth between volumes. Dover publishes some art song collections that retain the original key for each piece, and I prefer to purchase these when available for a particular composer.
