Gabriel Fauré

La Bonne Chanson

With "La Bonne Chanson", Gabriel Fauré created one of the absolute pinnacles of French art song—a deeply moving setting of Paul Verlaine's romantic poetry. This exquisite version for high voice, piano, and string quintet enriches the colorful masterpiece with an even more intimate and wonderfully iridescent chamber music atmosphere.

Published by the renowned edition Hamelle, this revised and corrected edition includes the complete performance material (score and parts) in exceptional print quality. The compelling combination of voice, piano, and five strings offers ensembles inspiring musical possibilities for unforgettable recitals. An indispensable repertoire treasure for all performers and connoisseurs of French Fin-de-Siècle vocal and chamber music!
