Gabriel Fauré's songs are a highlight of the French art song repertoire. To mark the centenary of the composer's death, Edition Peters is proud to present the Gabriel Fauré Centenary Songbook: a celebratory edition containing 15 of his most beautiful and popular songs. This practical edition is based on the four-volume critical edition Gabriel Fauré Complete Songs, edited by Roy Howat and Emily Kilpatrick. Short introductory texts to the pieces and translations of the poetic texts help to make this beautiful Romantic-Impressionist song repertoire accessible to all.
This outstanding collection includes a variety of Ruthie's beautiful, inspiring original works alongside her creative arrangements of folk songs and spirituals. These solos may be used individually, or the book is laid out in an artful programmatic order to support performance as a complete recital.

A collection of four songs for high voice and piano.
These Wing songs are inspired by the many characters of birds portrayed in poetry and folksongs. The “Tiny Swallow” is a mournful bird, weeping in sorrow, while the “Lone, Wild Bird” is a symbol of the Great Spirit called to earth. The turtle dove finds her peace in Heaven above, rejoicing “On Wings of Song.” And the falcon, so beautifully described in the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem “The Windhover,” is a majestic bird, striding, riding and gliding in his ecstasy.
The piano accompaniment is the expression of the bird, with fluttering wings and quiet, chirping calls. Often dwelling in the highest ranges of the keyboard (or, the aerie nest), the bird flies off at the end.
Contents:
1. Tiny Swallow
2. The Lone, Wild Bird
3. On Wings of Song (arranged for SATB)
