The earliest references to the archaic proto-instrument known as the 'zither' date back a long way, extending as far as biblical accounts in the Old Testament, where it is mentioned in connection with Saul. However, at that time all plucked instruments were referred to as 'zithers'. Based on this shared designation, a close connection can be established internationally with many stringed instruments. The gusli from Russia and the kokle from Latvia are two key instruments closely related to our familiar Alpine zither. The similarities and differences between these instruments are examined, amongst other things, by considering their respective historical aspects, as well as their development and possible playing techniques.

Complete Songs (High Voice): Sheet
Numbering more than 100 in total, and composed across a 60-year period, Gabriel Fauré's songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song. Despite their importance, the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources, along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré. Above all, it is a practical edition, informed by extensive work with musicians in performances, masterclasses and workshops. <p/>This second volume comprises the songs of Fauré's creative maturity, including popular favourites (Les Roses d'Ispahan, Clair de lune) alongside some lesser-known gems, together with his three vocal duets and the delightful four-voice Madrigal. Version for High Voice.
