Interdisciplinary studies of some of the greatest examples of
German art song by major scholars in musicology and German
literature. Singers and pianists never tire of exploring the songs
of Schubert and Schumann, Wolf and Mahler. But discussions of these
marvelous works have too often given only brief consideration to
the artistry of the poems -- by such masters as Goethe, Heine, and
Eichendorff -- and to the composers' insightful interaction with
that verbal art. Of Poetry and Song: Approaches to the
Nineteenth-Century Lied is an anthology of truly interdisciplinary
studies of text-music relations in the German Lied. The chapters
gathered in it (including some published here for the first time in
English or indeed at all) were written by two musicologists --
Rufus Hallmark and Jürgen Thym -- and two German-literature
specialists -- Harry Seelig and the late Ann C. Fehn. An extensive
introduction by the volume's editor, Jürgen Thym, considers the
fruitful ways in which the four authors meet the challenge of
combining literary and musical analysis. Jürgen Thym is Professor
Emeritus of Musicology at the University of Rochester's Eastman
School of Music.
