Classical Vocal Solos, Duets & Technique

Ep7743A Edited by Roger Nichols
Italian songs and arias of the 17th and 18th century have for many years been essential repertoire for anyone learning to sing. But this music is principally known in romantic adaptations which the original composers would barely recognize. This new collection of 30 songs and arias (based on the "standard" 24, together with other pieces in the Italian style) recreates the clearer and cleaner-and easier to play accompaniment style of the 17th and 18th centuries...

Ep7520b
Those interested in French music have often had reason to be grateful to Roger Nichols; his writings on Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen and Poulenc are indispensable to the music lover. Nichols now turns his attentions to the mélodie, where it is his mission to encourage singers to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of French song. In these two anthologies he does not ignore masterpieces by composers of the stature of Fauré and Duparc, but sets them alongside music – almost impossible to find elsewhere in print – by such under-estimated figures as Reber, Viardot, Massé and Paladilhe. Even the more celebrated songs are often not easily found in practical editions, which makes this selection an ideal starting point for wider exploration...

The three most popular settings under one cover:
Bach/Gounod, Schubert and Caccini all in beautifully clear settings for solo Voice.

Ep7668 Includes optional Violin Obbligato.
Gounod wrote the first version of this famous song in 1852 and it was published in December of 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...
