This volume has several of the songs I was looking for, such as "Romance". Hooray! Great selections from a great composer!
Very practical edition of the songs (with the opening recit/aria from L'enfant prodigue). Also useful notes and source listings for everything a/o the date of publishing. The go-to Debussy songbooks until completion of the Ouevres Complets.
Exactly what I needed for school.
