GOUNOD Charles 1818 1893
Faust Act III. Etching by Paul Renouard from the series entitled Le Nouvel Opéra
Paris 1881. 279 x 198 mm. Signed by the artist in pencil at lower left. A very good impression on laid paper. <br/><br/>Remnants of hinges to upper corners of verso. Béraldi: Les Graveurs du XIXe Siècle Paris: 1885-92 XI-188. <br/><br/>Faust an opera in five acts to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Carré's Faust et Marguerite and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust Part I in the French translation by Gérard de Nerval was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre Lyrique on March 15 1859. <br/><br/>"Faust became particularly important to the French musical establishment at the end of the century. A work by a winner of the Prix de Rome that could claim to be thoroughly modern and personal in style at its première and go on to international stages was a significant enhancement to the musical prestige of a French operatic culture previously dominated by Meyerbeer and the none-too-easily exportable genre of opéra comique. Its national value was enhanced because after some initial assessments as 'Wagnerian' Gounod's compositional voice in Faust was heard as important in the definition of a 'French' musical aesthetic." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online. <br/><br/>Renouard 1845-1924 was a noted painter and engraver whose works are held at the Louvre the Opéra Museum etc. unknown books

GOUNOD Charles 1818 1893
Autograph musical quotation signed "Ch. Gounod.
1 page ca. 76 x 187 mm. Four measures of an Adagio for organ with pedals in E-flat major in 4/4. Notated in black ink on three printed staves. <br/><br/>A note in black ink to verso signed Comte Élie de "Palys" explains that this autograph of Gounod has been "given by M. de Lassus his son-in-law to Mme Porteau." With rectangular blindstamp to upper left corner. <br/><br/>Very lightly foxed and stained; creased at central fold. "Best known today as the composer of the opera Faust and an Ave Maria descant to the first prelude of J.S. Bach's Das wohltemperirte Clavier Gounod wrote in most of the major genres of his day sacred and secular. That his reputation began to wane even during his lifetime does not detract from his place among the most respected and prolific composers in France during the second half of the 19th century."

Paris: Choudens Fils PN A.C. 1482 1900. Large octavo. Half black cloth with textured black paper boards. 1f. recto title verso blank i cast list and contents 2-253 i blank pp. Text in German.

First performed in Paris at the Lyrique on April 27 1867 to a libretto by Barbier and Carré after Shakespeare. Gounod's "Roméo et Juliette contains four exquisite soprano-tenor duets a number almost certainly unprecedented in 19th-century opera and a harbinger of the prominence of love duets in such works as Massenet's Manon and Werther; to Gounod's great credit each has a distinct musico-dramatic ambience and shape."

La Reine de Saba to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Gérard de Nerval's collections of stories Le voyage en Orient was first performed at the Opéra in Paris on February 28 1862. The English version by Henry Farnie was renamed Irene and interwove "certain legends and traditions of freemasonry." Wikipedia. "The work was severely condemned by almost the entire Parisian press. In spite of Gounod's efforts to clarify motivations of the characters through thematic recollections critics were mystified by the racial origin of and ideological imperatives for the Balkis-Adoniram union; the opera was withdrawn after only 15 performances. With some revisions it fared better at the Théâtre de la Monnaie and became part of the repertory there in the 1860s and 70s. Performances in England in 1865 at the Crystal Palace where the title role became Irene and the setting was shifted to Turkey as well as a Parisian revival in 1900 were unsuccessful."

The first performance of La Colombe took place at the Théatre de Bade in Baden-Baden on August 3 1860 under the direction of Edouard Bénazet. An expanded version of the opera was staged at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1866. "Gounod's 12 operas span a range of the generic types available in French lyric theatre. Smaller works such as Philémon et Baucis and La colombe strike a balance between spoken dialogue and set pieces typical of opéra comique of the second quarter of the 19th century: relatively small-scale numbers with many strophic types among them are joined by long passages of dialogue. Musical depictions of frivolity are relatively few by standards of the genre contributing to the general tenor of these pieces as sentimental comedy." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online.
