395518 measures in treble clef notated in black ink on a portion of a 14-stave rastrum-ruled album leaf 177 x 233 mm. With text in French in Gounod's hand commencing "Il etait un Roi du Thulé" Marguerite's melancholy aria from Act III. <br /> <br /> Identified in the composer's hand at foot: "Ballade du Roi de Thulé . à Monsieur Lebert. Ch. Gounod" and dated 26 August 1869.<br /> <br /> Slightly faded; browned; creased at central vertical fold; portions of leaf slighty lightened; margins of verso reinforced with brown paper tape. 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 19 March 1859 in a version with spoken dialogue; recitatives were added in 1860 and a ballet and couplets for Méphistophélès were added for a new production in 1869. <br /> <br /> "The historical importance of Faust is that it sounded a new note in French music. The conventional pomposities of the grand opera which then dominated the stage were superseded by a more intimate and poetic approach. The fashion Gounod set was one of conversational exchange rather than declamation." James Harding: Gounod p. 114.<br /> <br /> "Faust remains one of the landmarks of French 19th-century opera full of variety and with an underlying sensuality that saved it from the sentimentality and banality to which Gounod's later works especially his oratorios often descended in his quest for inspired simplicity." Robert Orledge in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> A considerable success at its premiere the work was one of the most frequently performed works at the Opéra and one the staples of the international repertory. unknown
39978One bifolium 272 x 347 mm. 4 pp. Notated in black ink on 26-stave rastrum-ruled paper. Unsigned and undated.<br /> <br /> With significant corrections cancels etc.<br /> <br /> Slightly worn and browned; small tear to blank outer margin of first leaf repaired; horizontal crease; short split to head and tail of spine.<br /> <br /> In very good condition overall. Music unlocated but very likely from a sacred vocal work with orchestra. <br /> <br /> The first page contains 16 measures of music on 8-line staves the uppermost stave marked with the key signature of 5 sharps in a contrapuntal style incorporating stretto technique whereby a melody is restated in overlapping fashion in two or more voices. <br /> <br /> The second page contains 28 measures including four cancelled measures with music still visible on 4- and 5-line staves with a sharp-key signature as in the first page and passages of high-register 8th notes most likely for violin; the uppermost stave is designated "1e. Basson." <br /> <br /> The third page contains 21 measures on an 8-line stave being an alternate iteration of the material from the first page; the final 4 measures which are cancelled contain tremolo string material similar to the second page. <br /> <br /> The upper portion of the fourth and final page contains 8 measures of music similar to the first and third pages in a stretto character but with a new key signature of 3 flats. <br /> <br /> With 2 measures of music also with 3 flats to lower portion of final page. <br /> <br /> Gounod's interest in sacred music and counterpoint was awakened in his youth and continued for the span of his career. "Gounod arrived at the French Academy in Rome at the end of January 1840. Little there sustained his musical interest. He excoriated performances of operas by Donizetti Bellini and Mercadante composers he later characterized as mere 'vines twisted around the great Rossinian trunk without its vitality and majesty' and unable to match that composer's spontaneous melodic gifts. Gounod was however genuinely moved by performances of Palestrina at the Cappella Sistina and more generally by the cultural legacy of Rome in the other arts a legacy he felt that musicians could ill afford to ignore. His Roman experience laid the foundation for the stark comparison he drew in his aesthetics between on the one hand a universally appealing combination of beauty truth and Christianity and on the other egoism artifice and insularity. He described stile antico counterpoint as a selfless analogue to Michelangelo's frescoes issuing from pure Faith." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> A fine example of a Gounod working manuscript in the composer's elegant hand displaying how he skillfully wove together counterpoint orchestration and compositional structure; well worthy of further study. unknown

Gounod" in pencil to upper right margin.<br /> <br /> Slightly worn and browned; cut from a larger leaf. "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." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online. unknown

188127462Paris 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
