## Summary

Full conductor score for 'Summer Nights, Op. 7 (Les nuits d'été): 1. Villanelle' by Hector Berlioz, arranged for medium voice and orchestra in the original key of A Major.

## Description

The song cycle I Les Nuits D'Ete (Summer Nights) is a setting of six poems by composer Hector Berlioz's (1803-1869) neighbor and friend, Théophile Gautier. The text deals in themes of love in all its facets, progressing from youthful innocence to loss and renewal. Originally composed in 1841 for solo vocalist and piano, Berlioz completed orchestration of each of the six songs in 1856. While regrettably neglected for many years, this song cycle was rediscovered in the 20th century and has become one of the composer's most popular works. The songs in the original keys (1. A; 2. B; 3. F minor; 4. F-sharp; 5. D; 6. F) are available from the publisher both as a complete set (A2573) and individually. Robert Sutherland has edited five of the songs in the cycle and has transposed each in multiple keys to expand the work to more vocalists. Songs completed by Robert Sutherland: 1. "Villanelle" (E, F, and G), 4. "Absence" (Db, D, Eb, and E), 5. "Au Cimetière, Clair de lune" (Bb, B, and C), and 6. "L'lle inconnue" (D, Eb, and E). A transposition of 2. "Le Spectre de la rose" to D and a transposition of 3. "Sur les Lagunes" to G minor is also available from the publisher. Villanelle celebrates spring and love, and invites the beloved to walk through the forest gathering wild strawberries and holding hands, all accompanied by charming melodies. Instrumentation: 2.1.2.1: 0.0.0.0: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Voice (Ten or Sop). Reprint edition.
