Selected Art Songs for Medium Voice accompanied Helen C. Crane Book One: American composer

Více o knize

a collection of representative songs from Helen Crane's early and middle periods; seven are settings of German poetic texts with literal translations to aid in interpretation; one of the songs is in English. Poets represented are Felicia Dorothea Hermans, Wilhelm Langewiesche, Marie van Vorst, Friedrich von Sallet, and Joanna Ambrosius Voigt. The pieces are written with the medium voice in mind, with a range between middle C and F an octave and a fourth above. Early pieces have a Wolf - ian lyricism and the latter are more adventurous harmonically but remain tonal and very accessible. Excellent concert / recital material.
