There have been very few books written directly by prominent recitalists that provide audiences with an authoritative, inspired guide to the interpretation and appreciation of French melodie. In this translation of the groundbreaking Le Chant Intime, internationally renowned baritone FrancoisLe Roux, in conversation with journalist Romain Reynaldy, presents a master class on French art song, with a thorough analysis of 60 selected songs that deviate from the traditionally narrow repertoire of the melodie genre. Taking an approach that goes far beyond the typical limiting conventions, Le Roux and Raynaldy adhere to composer Francis Poulenc's principle that a song should always be "a love affair, not an arranged marriage." Neither theoretical nor purely academic, this guide instills in its readers a deepappreciation for the historical and artistic context of each piece by enriching each analysis with the full text of the lyrical poem and several musical examples, as well as fascinating details of historic premieres, concert halls, singers and poets. Paired with intensive and practical notes relatedto the nuances of melody and vocal delivery, each analysis provides an essential reference for performers and listeners alike. | Le Chant Intime by Francois Le Roux, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
