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 \u003cem\u003eLieder \u003c\/em\u003eand on German Romantic poetry, none combines performance, musical analysis, textual analysis, and the interrelation between poetry and music in the systematic, thorough way of \u003cem\u003ePoetry Into Song\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeborah Stein \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Music Theory, New England Conservatory and author, \u003cem\u003eHugo Wolf's Lieder and Extensions of Tonality\u003c\/em\u003e (Rochester, 1985) and editor, \u003cem\u003eEngaging Music: Essays in Music Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2004). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Spillman\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado at Boulder, College of Music and author, \u003cem\u003eSightreading at the Keyboard\u003c\/em\u003e (Schirmer, 1990) and \u003cem\u003eArt of Accompanying: Master Lessons from the Repertoire\u003c\/em\u003e (Schirmer, 1985)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751578435872,"sku":"9780199754304","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/cbc8d3f432e1ef4acca6a8d7dbebb10e.webp?v=1779976257","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/poetry-into-song-performance-and-analysis-of-lieder-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
