Gateway to French MÃlodies. High Voice. Edited by John Glenn Paton. For Voice. High voice. Medium-High. Book. Masterworks. Vocal Collection. Gateway Series. Masterwork. 240 pages. Published by Alfred Music. AP.36533. ISBN 0739074148. Masterwork. Gateway to French MÃlodies leads us into a fragrant garden of poetry and music that is both passionate and refined. Each song brings to life one of the great themes of French artâ“ love, nature, the purpose of life--with sensuous beauty, beguiling grace, and often with humor. Understanding what you sing is the basic concept of the Gateway series. Each lyric is translated, both word-by-word and in readable English. The singer can learn the song with confidence, as obscure points of phonetics, grammar and interpretation are made clear. The cultural context of each song is illuminated, along with its place in the life and works of the composer. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance. Many of the marvelous songs found here been out of print for more than a century and a few are published here for the very first time. The songs include. "Plaisir dâamour," the quintessential song of bittersweet love, edited from the composerâs original 1784 edition.
