Download or read book The Songs of Robert Schumann written by Eric Sams and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Sams' study of Schumann's 246 songs (Faber 1961, revised 1993) - a companion volume to his The Songs of Hugo Wolf, also available in Faber Finds - remains a classic text. By providing a translation, commentary and notes for each of the songs, tracing original sources and relating recurring themes vividly to Schumann's life, Sams provides a unique documentary of Schumann's song-writing art. The book includes a foreword (to the First Edition) by the legendary accompanist, Gerald Moore, who writes: 'So felicitous is the writing that one is hardly conscious of the erudition and profound thought that have gone into the making of it . . . Eric Sams has produced a work that will be read and read again as long as Robert Schumann's songs are loved.'

Download or read book Art Song written by Carol Kimball and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). Art Song: Linking Poetry and Music is a follow-up to author Carol Kimball's bestselling Song: A Guide to Art Song Style and Literature . Rather than a general survey of art song literature, the new book clearly and insightfully defines the fundamental characteristics of art song, and the integral relationship between lyric poetry and its musical settings. Topics covered include poetry basics for singers, exercises for singers in working with poetry, insights into composers' musical settings of poetry, building recital programs, performance suggestions, and recommended literature for college and university classical voice majors. The three appendices address further aspects of poetry, guidelines for creating a recital program, and representative classical voice recitals of various descriptions. Art Song: Linking Poetry and Music is extremely useful as an "unofficial" text for college/university vocal literature classes, as an excellent resource for singers and voice teachers, and of interest to all those who are fascinated by the rich legacy of the art song genre.

Book excerpt: Arguably no other 19th-century German composer was as literate or as finely attuned to setting verse as Robert Schumann.

Arranged in part thematically, rather than by strict compositional chronology, this book speaks to the heart of Schumann’s music.

Download or read book Fifty Songs by Robert Schumann written by Robert Schumann and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the introductory. ....In many songs, Schumann uses the piano to provide beautiful and expressive preludes and postludes. In some songs the eloquence of the piano in the postlude is so great as to make this the most important part of the lyric. For an example of this let the reader examine the exquisite instrumental coda to Die alten, bösen Lieder (The Songs of Bitter Sorrow) , p. 131. This is, indeed, the coda of the entire cycle, and it is the most fragrant blossoming of this branch of Schumann's art. But Schumann also knew when to subordinate the piano so much as to make it a mere background. Note the wonderful effect of the soft chords in Ich hab' im 'Traum geweinet (In Dreams my Tears were falling) , p. 125. In short, as Dr. Spitta has admirably said in his fine article in Grove's Dictionary of Music, in "Schumann's songs the proper function of the pianoforte is to reveal some deep and secret meaning which it is beyond the power of words, even of sung words, to express." That Schumann found the true mission of the song may readily be learned by an examination of the texts which he chose for setting. He never failed to select words embodying the true lyric spirit, the voicing of nature and love. The field of human emotion and thought as viewed through the eyes of youth was the theatre of his fancy, and he found abundant material for his inspiration in the splendid outpour of lyric poetry from the young romanticists of Germany. Eichendorff's contemplations of nature touched his mind no less than Heine's marvellous analyses of feel. ing; and when he came to the setting of Chamisso's persuasive verses in the cycle entitled Frauenliebe und Leben, opus 42, he unquestionably opened up a wealth of emotion not altogether disclosed by the poet. When it was necessary to be humorous, Schumann had a fund of humor quite irresistible. Note the genuine humor of Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen (A Youth oft Loves a Maiden) , p. 123, and the bewitching archness of Aufträge, p. 150. Such things are the conceptions of a true master laboring in a most congenial field, and all contentions that Schumann was merely a follower of Schubert must fail in the presence of such convincing demonstrations of power and originality. Schumann was always a romanticist, and he was unceasingly introspective. He looked into his own heart and wrote, and this is the great secret of the universal appeal of his songs....

This book was released on 2000 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study draws on analysis, literary criticism, and source studies to propose a new conception of the nineteenth-century romantic cycle. Rather than a unified whole, the cycle is seen as a fragmentary and open-ended form, which enables Schumann to express the romantic themes of transcendence and ineffability in musical terms.

Download or read book Complete Songs, 1844–1889 written by Herrman S. Saroni and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes all of the surviving songs by German-American composer, performer, critic, and businessman Herrman S. Saroni (1823/24–1900), who is now most remembered as the owner and editor of Saroni’s Musical Times (one of America’s first significant music magazines). The entire date range of these songs is 1844–89, but the vast majority appeared in the 1840s and early 1850s. Saroni was among the first composers in America to combine aspects of German lieder and various features associated with popular song, and these works fuse accessibility to amateurs with sophisticated compositional techniques. Despite several indicators of success in his era, Saroni’s songs are almost completely unknown today. These works deserve reconsideration and modern performance both for their historical significance and for their aesthetic value. Most of the songs in this edition were published in Saroni’s lifetime, but an appendix includes a transcription of an unpublished holograph manuscript song, the original of which is also shown in two plate images.
