French diction tutorial of : Mandoline
Composer : Fauré
Poet : Verlaine
A quick note about the IPA subtitles. The symbol "~" is what I use for both liaison and legato linking. The standard way of writing out the IPA is somewhat unsatisfactory. For example the IPA for:
Les américains (the Americans) would normally be written:
[lez ameʀikε̃] or [le zameʀikε̃]
but I prefer [le~z~ameʀikε̃]
with the liaison consonant in between two "~"s. In this way, one is able to pronounce each word separately, yet good legato is encouraged when said together.
As every syllable begins with a consonant, the use of the symbol "~" used for linking is shown in the following way. The IPA for:
par exemple (for example) will be written as:
[paʀ~εgzɑ̃pl]
Of course, it is understood that there is no rest in the music between these two words.
When it comes to the French pronunciation used, I always gave deference to that which was given by the Dictionnaire Larousse (www.larousse.fr/).
This includes the pronounciation for such words as:
"les" www.larousse.fr...
"là-bas" www.larousse.fr...
"heureux" www.larousse.fr...
and the like.

This piece belongs to Debussy not Fauré
