Izzy sings “Ici-bas!” (Op. 8 No. 3) by Gabriel Fauré

(Made as a holiday gift for a classical singer friend who likes Izzy and kept harassing me to do something classical 🙈 Initially made with an accompaniment ripped from YouTube but I decided to learn and record my own, hence taking half a year to actually finish and post lmao)

Fauré: Requiem, Op. 48 - Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, Groot Omroepkoor & ...

[musicianrambles]

Obsessed with the fact that Faure's Requiem has a happy ending. As far as I'm aware, none of the other requiems have the paradise as the final section, but Faure's out here reminding us that there's a nice place and you'll be in safe hands getting there, and once you're there you can truly rest. And I'm not a Christian or anything but I think that's truly beautiful.

I love this song

Je puis maintenant dire aux rapides années : Passez ! passez toujours ! je n'ai plus à vieillir ! Allez-vous-en avec vos fleurs toutes fanées ; J'ai dans l'âme une fleur que nul ne peut cueillir !

Gabriel Fauré, Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120

[opera-ghosts]

OTD in Music History: Important composer, organist, pianist, and pedagogue Gabriel Urbain Faure (1845 – 1924) dies in Paris. Faure was hailed in his lifetime as one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and his musical style influenced many important 20th-century composers -- a number of whom actually studied with him at the Paris Conservatory. Among his best-known works are his "Pavane" (1887), "Requiem" (1890), and "Sicilienne" (1893), as well as the long and masterful series of "melodies" (or French art songs) that he composed throughout his career. A modern assessment of Faure in "Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians" (2001) notes that "Faure's stature as a composer has been undiminished by the passage of time . . . He developed a musical idiom all his own . . . by subtle application of old modes, he evoked the aura of eternally fresh art; by using unresolved mild discords and special coloristic effects, he anticipated procedures of Impressionism; . . . [and] the precisely articulated melodic line of his songs is in the finest tradition of French vocal music . . ." Music critic Robert Orledge offers another assessment: "Faure's genius was fundamentally one of synthesis: he reconciled such opposing elements as modality and tonality, anguish and serenity, seduction and force, within a single cohesive and non-eclectic style . . . The quality of constant renewal even within an apparently limited range is a remarkable facet of his genius, and the spare, elliptical style of his [very late] String Quartet (1924) suggests that his intensely self-disciplined style was still developing [even] at the time of his death [at the age of nearly 80]." PICTURED: A first edition of the tenor version of Faure's "20 Melodies for Singer and Piano," published in Paris in 1879. Faure has signed and inscribed this copy to an admirer.

A poem by James Schuyler

Faure's Second Piano Quartet 

On a day like this the rain comes down in fat and random drops among the ailanthus leaves---"the tree of Heaven"---the leaves that on moon- lit nights shimmer black and blade- shaped at this third-floor window. And there are bunches of small green knobs, buds, crowded together. The rapid music fills in the spaces of the leaves. And the piano comes in, like an extra heartbeat, dangerous and lovely. Slower now, less like the leaves, more like the rain which almost isn't rain, more like thawed- out hail. All this beauty in the mess of this small apartment on West 20th in Chelsea, New York. Slowly the notes pour out, slowly, more slowly still, fat rain falls.

James Schuyler (1923-1991)

"Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well out there. I’d like to share this new video with you," pianist/composer Brad Mehldau says. "I talk about the impact of Fauré’s final Nocturne #13—sorry, don’t know why I called it a 'sonata' about 38 seconds in!—and also play my own piece, Après Faure #4: Vision. Both of those are on my new album Après Fauré, out now on Nonesuch Records here. (Sheet music for my Après Fauré pieces included on the record are also available to purchase here.)" The video was directed by Matthew Edginton, recorded at Village Vanguard in NYC.
