The Three Songs (Trois Chansons) dating from 1914/15 were arranged for four a cappella voices by Ravel immediately after he had written the music of these pieces. The lyrics were penned by the composer himself. The songs represent Ravel's sole contribution to choral literature.

Par VANHAL JOHANN BAPTIST. The unbroken popularity of Vanhal's sole double bass concerto in competitions and for practice and concert purposes is reason enough for us to publish the work in Breitkopf Urtext.

He was one of the most important figures during the nationalistic romantic period and his music always contained the essence of this beautiful Scandinavian country.
