10 songs for voice & guitar (high and middle voice) (original for vocals & piano), transcription and fingerings by Tilman Hoppstock, with detailed introductory text in German and English, lyrics in French, German and English - Gabriel Faure (1845 -1924) is considered the great melodicist of the French late Romantic period and was instrumental in the development of the French art song. As a young composer he wrote a variety of "romances", but especially the more sophisticated song form of the "melody" finds its true master in Faure. The piano set to be edited for these ten selected songs, which also show an impressionistic coloring in their structure, are very closely related to the idiomatics of the guitar. - Contents: Seule !, Aubade, Après un reve, Toujours, Le plus doux chemin, Aurore, En Priere, Le ramier, Mai, Dans les ruines
