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. Directed toward
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 analyzing, designed to give
the reader a new understanding of the reciprocal interaction
between performance and analysis. Emphasizing the masterworks, the
book 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.
