This volume collects twenty of Lawrence Kramer's seminal writings
on art song (especially Lieder), opera, and word-music
relationships. All examine the formative role of culture in musical
meaning and performance, and all seek to demonstrate the complexity
and nuance that arise when words and music interact. The diverse
topics include words and music, music and poetry, subjectivity, the
sublime, mourning, sexuality, decadence, orientalism, the body,
war, Romanticism, modernity, and cultural change. Several of the
earlier essays have been revised for this volume, which also
contains a preface by the author and a foreword by Richard Leppert.
The volume should be essential reading for scholars, students,
performing musicians, and other music-lovers interested in
musicology, word-music relationships, cultural studies, aesthetics,
and intermediality.
