Recent American Art Song: A Guide is a reference source devoted to
songs with English texts by American composers, written for solo
voice and piano. The book focuses exclusively on art song since
1980, a substantial period largely ignored by scholars. This is the
first study to examine this repertory in detail, and many of the
songs and composers are discussed in print for the first time.
Keith E. Clifton has examined approximately 1000 songs by nearly
200 composers. Many songs employ musical idioms well beyond
traditional classical styles, including references to jazz, musical
theater, rap, and rock & roll, and several songs blur the
boundaries between recital and stage works. Organized
alphabetically by composer, entries contain complete biographical
and bibliographical information, with major works and links to
print resources and composer websites when available. In addition,
Clifton provides detailed information on the vocal range, musical
style, and appropriate voice type for individual songs. The book
concludes with a full discography and bibliography, as well as
indexes listing the works by poet, song cycle, title, voice type,
and level of difficulty.
