This book was released on 1990 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gounod was the leading opera composer in France in the mid-nineteenth century, and his best-known operas, including Faust and Romeo and Juliette, date from that time. Despite the overwhelming success of Faust and Gounod's immense influence on all French composers of the later nineteenth century, he has been virtually ignored by scholars until now. Huebner here charts the composer's career and deals with each of the major operas, discussing not only the music but also the critical reception and source material. He considers aspects of the composer's musical style and outlines his influence on subsequent generations of composers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... 177 CHAPTER I. Gounod at the zenith of his fame--He takes no rest--Honours, fortune, favours, the rewards of his genius and labour-- Kesidence in London--Gallia--Jeanne d'Arc--Les Deux Retries--Prose in music---Georges Dandin---Gounod's opinion of English musical taste--Polyeucte--Cinq-Mars. At this period of his career, Gounod--then a man of nearly fifty--had reached the zenith of his fame. Henceforth he could rise no higher. He was in the position of Rossini after Wilhelm Tell. The Italian Maestro has been praised for resting on his laurels, and possibly he did well. Gounod has acted otherwise, and no one thinks of blaming him, for since then, covering a space of twenty years, if his work has been unequal, he has not written a single page for which his admirers have had to blush, and if he has not scaled another step of the ladder leading to Parnassus, he has maintained himself without effort or hesitation on the heights to which Bomeo et Juliette had borne him. After his triumph of 1867 there was a pause, a time of relative rest which he had well earned. "Without even counting the choruses of Ulysses, he had in twenty years achieved thirtyfour acts, besides symphonies, Masses, and a N 179 pularity, but it And even then, 11 Israelite, and, h, Gallic, and 1, adored more has none among triots are here itrast him with jieared, or with liant in Italy. and respect roise Thomas, ie lists with 1 the triumph his felicity is orit, no man of happiness ith which he ween Borneo fed it in the imatic com DEGREEStive during 9 ibearleaves DEGREES.

Book excerpt: De Gounod, qui fut l'une des gloires musicales les plus sûres du Second Empire et de la Troisième République, que reste-t-il aujourd'hui ? Faust, naturellement, malgré les critiques dont on l'a accablé, mais surtout à cause de ses beautés. Roméo et Juliette aussi et Mireille. Quelques mélodies encore : Venise, Le Soir, Sérénade, Ô ma belle rebelle... Tout bien considéré, la Messe de sainte Cécile n'est pas oubliée tout à fait, ni le Requiem, et la Petite symphonie reste une aubaine pour les ensembles d'instruments à vents. S'avise-t-on pourtant de reprendre Le Médecin malgré lui, Sapho, La Colombe, ou Mors et Vita ? On est surpris d'y découvrir une fraîcheur d'expression, une pureté d'écriture inattendues et surtout un style, un ton résolument personnels. Le rejet de Gounod ou, plutôt, la rage à le dévaluer, a fait suite à un immense succès qui ne concernait qu’une partie de sa production, car sa popularité ne signifiait pas que son message artistique ait été vraiment reçu. Il est temps qu’on y revienne, avec d’autres critères et dans une perspective différente. La musique sacrée et la mélodie étaient ses domaines d’élection. Selon Ravel « le véritable instaurateur de la mélodie en France a été Charles Gounod [...] qui a retrouvé le secret d'une sensualité harmonique perdue depuis les clavecinistes des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle ». Et peu de musiciens, depuis Bach, auront si intimement lié inspiration musicale et théologie. Après un portrait de Gounod par ceux qui l’ont connu, la partie biographique de ce livre, Au fil des jours, s’est nourrie de l’examen critique de l’ensemble des sources disponibles comme de la correspondance. La présentation des œuvres, qui forme la partie la plus importante du livre, embrasse toute la production de Gounod dont le catalogue, (presque) complet, compte désormais plus de 600 entrées. Sans négliger les partitions les plus connues, une attention particulière a été accordée à celles qu’on a plus rarement l’occasion d’entendre (messes, motets, pièces de circonstances, pages inédites ou inachevées) mais qui ont leur place, parfois essentielle, dans sa trajectoire créatrice et dans l’histoire de son temps. Gérard Condé se partage entre la composition lyrique et des recherches sur le XIXe siècle français.
