The Complete Songs of Hugo Wolf gathers together for the first time
every poem Wolf set to music. Alongside the original German texts
are translations by leading Lieder expert Richard Stokes, who also
provides illuminating commentary. The 36 poets set by Wolf are each
given their own chapter: a brief essay on the poet is followed by a
note on Wolf's connection with the writer, extracts from letters
that throw light on the Songs and convey his mood at the time of
composition, and the texts and translations. Short biographies of
all Wolf's correspondents flesh out the extraordinary life of this
genius. This will be an indispensable volume for all lovers of
Lieder.
Warm, lyrical, cantabile melodies and rich harmonic structures are

time to sing and play through the favourite carols, though amidst

them. Realizing this, Pualine Hall has produced Piano Time Carols -
19 really easy arrangements of the best-loved carols starting at
around the level of Piano Time 1. They have been carefully
simplified so that, instead of learning just one or two carols, you
will find that you can play a wide selection, to the delight of
your friends and family
The left-hand part is, with a single exception, in one position,
and there are optional accompaniments to a number of carols for
your teacher or a friend to play.

The Companion is an essential, interdisciplinary tool for those
both familiar and unfamiliar with Wagner's Ring. It opens with a
concise introduction to both the composer and the Ring, introducing
Wagner as a cultural figure, and giving a comprehensive overview of
the work. Subsequent chapters, written by leading Wagner experts,
focus on musical topics such as 'leitmotif', and structure, and
provide a comprehensive set of character portraits, including
leading players like Wotan, Brunnhilde, and Siegfried. Further
chapters look to the mythological background of the work and the
idea of the Bayreuth Festival, as well as critical reception of the
Ring, its relationship to Nazism, and its impact on literature and
popular culture, in turn offering new approaches to interpretation
including gender, race and environmentalism. The volume ends with a
history of notable stage productions from the world premiere in
1876 to the most recent stagings in Bayreuth and elsewhere.
