Description:
Being such a prolific composer, particularly for Vocal and Piano works, Gabriel Fauré's music is always addressed with high expectations. His Eve's Song for Voice and Piano accompaniment is no exception. Fauré (1845-1924) beganreceiving high quality musical instruction from age 10 at the Niedermeyer School. He eventually became a piano pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns. Fauré's career saw him succeed Théodore Dubois as organist at the Church of Madeleine inParis and become professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire, all the while composing sublime works. His song cycle Eve's Song was composed between 1906 - 1910. As Fauré's longest song cycle, Eve's Song is made up of tenmelodies based on poetry by Charles Van Lerberghe. With Fauré's music remaining hugely popular to this day, Eve's Song is a favourite for the vocal repertoire.
