Pour Soprano Et Orchestre (Piano Reduction)-Gabriel Fauré's Chanson De Mélisande for Soprano and Orchestra. Reduction for Voice and Piano. “An enchanted dream” – poet Charles Van Leberghe’s words give us an idea of the audience’s enthusiasm at the Prince of Wales Theatre in Piccadilly on June 21st 1898 when the first English language performance of Symbolist play Pelléas et Mélisande by Maurice Maeterlinck was performed with incidental music by Gabriel Fauré. The composer had tasked his favourite student Charles Koechlin with orchestratingthe score. The London theatre’s small number of musicians suited the apprentice musician’s ideals of clarity and transparency. It was 1936 before Koechlin returned to La Chanson de Mélisande this time to create a version with orchestra published the following year as a Piano-Vocal score. Using autograph manuscripts Roger Nichols and Otfrid Nies have created a new edition of the Piano-Vocal reduction that includes the text of the melody in English French and German. The score contains the 1898 and 1936 variations as well as an informative preface by Otfrid Nies.
