Reseña del editor:

The Encyclopedia of French Art Song: Fauré, Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc is ideal for student and professional singers, pianists, voice teachers, and anyone interested in French art song and culture. This multi-disciplinary work is a unique single source, fusing encyclopedic entries on songs, poems, poets, historical and cultural figures and movements with a dictionary of pertinent nouns and adjectives. It provides both facts and context in an authoritative yet engaging style. The book is cross-referenced for greater ease in finding information relevant to each song discussed.

Biografía del autor:

Frank Daykin is a pianist, musicologist, writer, and teacher. Decades of experience in vocal accompanying, with a specialty in French art song, have included the master classes of such legendary figures as Gerard Souzay, Elly Ameling, Pierre Bernac, and Thomas Grubb, to name only a few, and teaching the "Singer and Accompanist" class in the Juilliard Evening Division. Daykin's bi-weekly blog, containing mini-essays on music and arts topics, "Before and After Silence," has become an internet destination. He is also sought after as a programme note writer for classical labels Connoisseur Society, Albany, Quattro Corde, and various chamber music and symphony organisations. His lecture/demonstrations on subjects are far-ranging as Schoenberg, Schubert, Ravel, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Elgar, Messiaen, and Schumann are the most popular events at the Chamber Music Conference/Composers' Forum of the East, of which he is a faculty member. Daykin's two volumes of poetry "Islands" and "Words Without Songs" were published by Silver Hill Press.
