original choral music by French composers, as well as many wonderful
arrangements of some of the greatest French songs ever composed.

The selections in this songbook are second-to-none, with some of the
most beautiful and affecting French choral music compiled into one
volume. Many original works are included here, with these choral
compositions by giants of French classical music often being regarded
as some of their finest work. Pieces like Madrigal by Gabriel Fauré, a
new edition of Maurice Ravel's incredible Trois Chansons, Camille
Saint-Saëns's Calme Des Nuits and Trinquons as well as Reynaldo Hahn's
three Rondels, originally written for SATB choir.
Please note that most of the lyrics are in French, but translations
are included that also serve the purpose of enhancing your
understanding of such poetic music.
