NEw To ThE GATEwAy SERiESEd. John Glenn Paton

Each song in Gateway to French Mélodies brings to life one of the great themes of French art—love, nature, the purpose of life—with sensuous beauty, beguiling grace, and often with humor� Understanding what you sing is the basic concept of the Gateway series� Each lyric is translated, both word-by-word and in readable English� Obscure points of phonetics, grammar, and interpretation are made clear� The cultural context of each song is

illuminated, along with its place in the life and works of the composer� Many of the marvelous songs found here have been out of print for more than a century and a few are published here for the very first time�
