| Publisher Description: Jacques Offenbach (1819-80) ranks among the greatest composers of lighthearted operettas, and his famous songs continue to charm millions who know neither their names nor their composer. This volume features the sheet music for 38 popular songs from 14 operettas. All are reproduced from the original sheet music -- a few from the original piano-vocal scores, and some with lively pictorial covers. Contents include four songs from Orphe aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld), five songs from La belle H l ne, four songs from La vie parisienne, six songs from La Grande Duchesse de G rolstein, seven songs from La P richole, three songs from La fille du tambour-major, and more. The complete French texts appear on the music pages, and a separate section offers English translations. All songs were chosen by Antonio de Almeida, a renowned conductor and authority on Offenbach, who also provides an informative Introduction. |
