Album of Songs, Vol. 2: Seventeen Songs, Book 3 (17 Songs)

Description

A reprint edition of these important vocal works by the turn-of-the-century French composer, C�cile Chaminade (1857-1944). Affiliating herself with nationalist composers such as Saint-Sa�ns and Gounod, her style was very much rooted in both Romantic and French tradition. Her tuneful and highly accessible works were also tremendous favorites in the United States. Chaminade's Album of Songs was originally published between 1892 and 1893 and included thirty-seven total songs across two volumes, with versions for both high voice and low voice made available. LudwigMasters has made all thirty-seven songs available, with three books for each volume, totaling six books each for both high and low voices. Included in Volume 2, Book 3: "Viens, mon bien aim�" (W290, 1892); "Si j'�tais jardinier" (W296, 1893); "Le No�l des Oiseaux" (W297, 1893); "Berceuse" (W287, 1892); "� l'inconnue" (W288, 1892); "Serenata" (W272, 1888); "L'Amour captif (W292, 1893)."
