Focusing on the music of the great song composers-Schubert,
Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, and Strauss-Poetry Into Song offers a
systematic introduction to the performance and analysis of Lieder.
Part I, "The Language of Poetry," provides chapters on the themes
and imagery of German Romanticism and the methods of analysis for
German Romantic poetry. Part II, "The Language of the Performer,"
deals with issues of concern to performers: texture, temporality,
articulation, and interpretation of notation and unusual rhythm
accents and stresses. Part III provides clearly defined analytical
procedures for each of four main chapters on harmony and tonality,
melody and motive, rhythm and meter, and form. The concluding
chapter compares different settings of the same text, and the
volume ends with several appendices that offer text translations,
over 40 pages of less accessible song scores, a glossary of
technical terms, and a substantial bibliography. Directing the book
towards students in both voice and theory, and toward all singers,
the authors establish a framework for the analysis of song based on
a process of performing, listening, and analysing, designed to give
the reader a new understanding of the reciprocal interaction
between performance and analysis. Emphasizing the masterworks, the
volume features numerous poetic texts, as well as a core repertory
of songs. Examples throughout the text demonstrate points, while
end-of-chapter questions reinforce concepts and provide
opportunities for directed analysis. While there are a variety of
books on Lieder and on German Romantic poetry, none combines
performance, musical analysis, textual analysis, and the
interrelation between poetry and music in the systematic, thorough
way of Poetry Into Song.
