The Art Songs of Louise Talma presents some of Talma's finest
compositions and those most frequently performed during her life.
It includes pieces appropriate for beginning, intermediate, and
advanced singers and collaborative pianists. The songs include text
settings of American, English, and French poets and writers,
including Native American poems, works by W. H. Auden, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, Emily Dickinson, e. e. cummings, John Donne,
Gerald Manley Hopkins, William Shakespeare, and Wallace Stevens, as
well as poems from medieval France and religious texts. Because of
the popularity of Talma's choral works and the fact that her works
for voice and piano were performed often, this sourcebook will be
useful to singers at all stages of their careers, as well as
scholars of twentieth-century music as a whole. The diversity of
compositional approaches Talma used provides a snapshot of American
trends in composition during the twentieth century; during the
course of her career, Talma moved from neo-classicism to serialism
and finally to non-strict serial-derived atonality in her works.
Inclusion of performance and reception histories of the songs helps
trace changing public taste in American art song and the repertoire
of performers, particularly those interested in contemporary music.
