LE CHANT INTIME C

The interpretation of French mélodie

By: François Le Roux,Romain Raynaldy

In this translation of the groundbreaking Le Chant Intime, internationally renowned baritone François Le Roux, in conversation with journalist Romain Raynaldy, 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 mélodie 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 deep appreciation 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 related to the nuances of melody and vocal delivery, each analysis provides an essential reference for performers and listeners alike. The translation is due to the expertise of musicologist and pianist Sylvia Kahan, Professor of Music at the Graduate Center and College of Staten Island, CUNY.

Le Chant Intime

The Interpretation of French Mélodie

By: François Le Roux,Romain Raynaldy

Le Chant intime is the very first book, since Pierre Bernac's landmark work in 1978, to deal specifically with the topic of the interpretation of French mélodie, written by a singer. It offers an essay about the general approach to be taken when preparing a French song, and analyses of a selection of 60 selected mélodies (none of which appear in Bernac's book), from Berlioz to contemorary composers like Hersant and Lancino. More than rules, Le Chant intime tries to give paths to be taken; more than answers, questions to be addressed. The lesson of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande has served as a guiding principle: a song should be the junction of two dreams - the composer's and the poet's - not an explanation or an elicitation. Or, as Poulenc put it so wittily: a song should always be "a love affair, not an arranged marriage.""--

Lucien est pianiste de jazz. Il est aveugle. Un soir, il rencontre Sophie, une architecte qui plane dans l'air du temps. Avec elle, sortant de sa nuit presque noire, guidé par cette main rassurante dans les tourbillons colorés de la société de l'image, il entrevoit bientôt un avenir. Mais, un jour, Sophie ressent le besoin de voyager. Voir du pays? Lucien résiste, lui le détracteur du tourisme de masse, du fun et des charters, lui le casanier qui ne voyage d'ordinaire que par la musique ou les mots. Il accepte pourtant de la suivre pour un trek au Maroc... Look : une histoire de voyage et de solitude, de clairvoyance et d'aveuglements, d'harmonies et de dissonances amoureuses.
