Messiaen used soprano clef in Vingt Lecons d'Harmonie (1951).
Being used to playing from C1 and various other clefs, I would be happy for
them to make a come-back.

I recently received the conductor's score of Gounod's Faust (Henschelverlag
Berlin, 1972). I was surprised to find C-clefs used for the voice parts in a
score this recent: all female voices are written in soprano clef and the
tenors in tenor clef. I thought this practice had died out in the 19th
century. Can anybody point me to detailed information about the history of
the use of C-clefs? And does anybody know of other 20th century editions
that use them for voice parts?
Michael
