GOUNOD CHARLES: (1818-1893) French Composer. A very good A.M.Q., two pages, folio, blue score paper, n.p., n.d. Gounod has neatly penned over seventy-five bars for the second choir bass, and annotated beneath each stave the voice music text. To the heading, Gounod entitles the musical score `Choeur de Chasseurs´ (“Hunters´ Choir”). The choir voice text cleanly annotated by Gounod states in part `Au fond des bois touffus la chasse nous entraine, et de la nuit l´ombre épaissit…pres de ces doux plaisirs que le soir nous ramene, qui peut hélas! Guider nos pas…´ (“In the depths of the bushy woods the hunt drags us along, and the night darkens…near these sweet pleasures that the evening brings back to us, who can, alas! guide our steps..”), and concludes to the second page `…Il sonne, c´est l´heure du retour et de l´amour! Fin´ (“…It sounds, it is the time to return and the time of love! End”) Small overall minor age wear, with right and bottom edge slightly trimmed, otherwise G
The present work was composed by Gounod in 1855, a choir for four voices “a cappella”, entitled `Où sommes-nous?´ (“Where are we?”)
