Tobie: Petit Oratorio = Tobias

"Tobie: Petit Oratorio" is a vocal score by Charles Gounod, with text by Hippolyte Lefebvre. This oratorio, also known as "Tobias," presents a dramatic musical interpretation of the biblical story of Tobit. Featuring vocal arrangements, this score allows singers and musicians to explore Gounod's rich harmonies and melodic invention within a religious context.

Composed in the 19th century, Gounod's work reflects the era's penchant for blending sacred themes with operatic sensibilities. This edition provides valuable insight into the performance practice of religious music during the Romantic period, making it an essential resource for both scholars and performers interested in sacred vocal works and the legacy of Charles Gounod.
