In New York and London during World War I, the performance of
lieder--German art songs--was roundly prohibited, representing as
they did the music and language of the enemy. But as German
musicians returned to the transatlantic circuit in the 1920s, so
too did the songs of Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf, and Richard
Strauss. Lieder were encountered in a variety of venues and
media--at luxury hotels and on ocean liners, in vaudeville
productions and at Carnegie Hall, and on gramophone recordings,
radio broadcasts, and films. Laura Tunbridge explores the renewed
vitality of this refugee musical form between the world wars,
offering a fresh perspective on a period that was pervaded by
anxieties of displacement. Through richly varied case studies,
Singing in the Age of Anxiety traces how lieder were circulated,
presented, and consumed in metropolitan contexts, shedding new
light on how music facilitated unlikely crossings of nationalist
and internationalist ideologies during the interwar period.
