About "Vocalise-Étude"

In 1906, Amédée-Landély Hettich, a professor of voice at the Paris Conservatoire, set himself the goal of raising vocalise from a boring training tool to an independent work of art. Over thirty years, he convinced an impressive list of composers to write this type of song.

Among them was Maurice Ravel, who composed beautiful"Vocalise-Étude" (en forme de habanera) in 1907. In the composition, the insistent repetition of the habañera rhythm is set against the virtuosic runs and portamento effects in the voice part, showcasing Ravel's skill as a composer for the voice.

The musical material for the Vocalise is thought to be derived from Ravel's opera L'Heure espagnole, which he was working on early in 1907. Though the work as a whole perhaps lacks substance, the Vocalise is a good example of Ravel's understanding of the musical potential of the voice, and it numbers among Ravel's other important works in the French-Spanish style.

Today, this song is very popular in many instrumental versions (including transcription of Ravel himself for cello).
