Gounod, Prière du soir
Original work:
Charles Gounod (1818–93) wrote three works entitled
Prière du soir: 1) to words by Charles
Turpin for four-part children's choir, published in 1854; 2) to words by Eugène
Manuel for 6-part mixed choir, published in 1866, either unaccompanied or with piano or organ; 3) a song to
words by Charles Ligny, published by
Lemoine in 1872.
Transcription:
If Bizet transcribed one of these, it was probably the
second.
Letter:
1872, to
Choudens:
'Vous trouverez ci-joints : [...] les 2des épreuves de Prière du
Soir.'
