The songs of Gabriel Fauré: New critical edition

Gabriel Fauré的歌曲（总共超过100首）形成了一个重要的作品主体，对法国艺术歌曲传统产生了至关重要的影响，今天形成了歌曲朗诵和研究的主要内容。然而，没有全面的关键版本，他们是可用的，和零碎的性质，他们原来的出版物已经离开他们中的一些默默无闻。目前的目标是制作一个完整的评论版。这些卷已委托伦敦彼得斯版作为核心项目的福雷关键版本的罗伊霍瓦特。这里提交的项目包括所有，但四个后期周期，在三卷（每一个将被出版的高和低的声音），加上福雷的室内合奏版本的周期'La bonne chanson'和一卷45 Vocalises由福雷组成的考试目的，而主任的巴黎音乐学院。一个纪录片和音乐奖学金的主要工作，该版本将是学者和表演者的重要资源。它的发展和研究将通过与学生，教师，专业人士和更广泛的社区的参与，通过广泛的性能和研究活动的方案得到支持和沟通。相关成果将包括处理专业挑战和发现的学术文章，沿着歌手期刊文章。涉及的大量数据需要全面了解Fauré的生活，工作和音乐实践。罗伊·霍瓦特在福雷编辑方面的丰富经验使他比任何人都更熟悉这些问题，包括作曲家有时对自己文本的特殊处理。克里思指示、措辞、力度和清晰度的模糊性是Fauré来源所固有的（因此产生了表演问题），通常需要编辑的精致和大胆的明智融合。优先考虑作曲家的最后阅读的编辑规范将被视为一个一般的基础，但灵活处理，以允许解决一些棘手的源问题。这将符合Howat博士在Fauré钢琴和室内乐备受推崇的版本中建立的原则。Roy Howat的职业生涯一直致力于将学术研究与积极的表演相结合。他的版本在国际上被认为在这方面树立了新的标准，并通过将学术诚信与音乐和实践洞察力相结合，对表演实践产生了积极影响。新版将发展他对互动表演和学术的承诺。该版本将关键地（真实地）反映作曲家自己宣布的直接基于表演经验的版本的做法。特别是皇家音乐学院的课程和原则将是这项研究的核心。该学院的研究环境，其中Howat博士一直是六年的核心参与者，提供基于互动研讨会，音乐会和研讨会的开放活动和演示，为学生，教师和学者的探索和实验提供了一个完美的论坛。通过Howat博士作为皇家音乐学院键盘研究员的国际形象，以及他与许多其他音乐和学术机构的紧密联系，这些活动可以在全世界范围内分享。这个项目的令人信服的动机是无障碍。因此，它将：采用沟通和协商的方法来编制版本，让学生、教师、表演者和听众参与其中，广泛提供尚未出版、绝版或难以获得的歌曲和声乐作品，以适中且极具竞争力的价格在全球范围内销售通过表演、研讨会、讲座、录音、广播和发表文章，向更广泛的社区传播研究结果和益处。

The songs of Gabriel Fauré (over 100 in total) form a major body of work that crucially shaped the French art song tradition and today form a staple of song recitals and study. However, no comprehensive critical edition of them is available, and the piecemeal nature of their original publications has left some of them in obscurity. The present aim is to produce a complete critical edition. These volumes have been commissioned by London Peters Edition as a core item of their Fauré critical editions by Roy Howat. The project submitted here comprises all but the four late cycles, in three volumes (each to be published for high and low voice), plus Fauré's chamber ensemble version of the cycle 'La bonne chanson' and a volume of 45 Vocalises composed by Fauré for exam purposes while Director of the Paris Conservatoire.A major work of documentary and musical scholarship, the edition will be a vital resource for scholars and performers. Its development and research will be supported and communicated by engagement with students, teachers, professionals and the wider community, through a wide-ranging programme of performance and research events. Related outcomes will include scholarly articles dealing with the specialised challenges and discoveries, along with articles for singers' journals.The large volume of data involved demands a comprehensive understanding of Fauré's life, work and musical practices. Roy Howat's extensive experience of Fauré editing has made him more familiar than anyone with these issues, including the composer's sometimes idiosyncratic treatment of his own texts. Ambiguities of tempo indication, phrasing, dynamics and articulation are inherent in Fauré sources (and thus generate performing issues), and often call for a judicious blend of editorial delicacy and boldness. The editorial norm of giving priority to the composer's final readings will be taken as a general basis but treated with flexibility to allow the resolution of some intractable source problems. This will match the principles established in Dr Howat's highly regarded editions of Fauré piano and chamber music.Roy Howat's career has been devoted to integrating scholarly research with active performance. His editions are internationally regarded as having set new standards in that regard, and in having positively influenced performance practice through blending scholarly integrity with musical and practical insight. The new edition will develop his commitment to interactive performance and scholarship. The edition will crucially (and authentically) reflect the composer's own declared practice of basing editions directly on performing experience.The programmes and principles of the Royal Academy of Music in particular will be central to this research. The Academy's research environment, in which Dr Howat has been a core participant for six years, offer open events and presentations based on interactive workshops, concerts and seminars, providing a perfect forum for exploration and experimentation in performance with students, teachers and scholars. Through Dr Howat's international profile as the Royal Academy of Music's Keyboard Research Fellow, and his strong links with many other musical and academic institutions, these activities can be shared worldwide.The compelling motivation of this project is one of accessibility. As such, it will: Adopt a communicative and consultative approach to the development of the edition, involving students, teachers, performers and the listening public Make widely available songs and vocalises available that have been unpublished, out of print or difficult to access Publish the songs in a comprehensive edition, issued by a leading international publishing house, on sale worldwide at a moderate and very competitive price Disseminate the findings and the benefits of the research to the wider community through performance, seminars, lectures, recordings, broadcast and published articles.
