A Day With Gounod
Author: May Byron
Hardcover, fair condition,
A Day With Gounod by May Clarissa Gillington Byron offers an intimate and affectionate portrait of the French composer Charles‑François Gounod, blending biographical narrative with a “day in the life” structure to reveal his personality, inspirations and musical practice. The book paints Gounod as a cultured, thoughtful and warm figure who delighted in teaching young singers, offering them guidance both vocally and spiritually. (Wikimedia Commons) Drawing on anecdotes, his interactions with students, and his gentle but exacting musicianship—especially as he accompanies and coaches aspiring singers—it brings to life the essence of his character and art, not just through his compositions, but through the way he lived and mentored in daily, human moments.
