Probably the most comprehensive work on the American art song ever available, this book considers the lives and contributions of 144 significant composers in the field, including many for whom information has been extremely scarce. Most composers' entries consist of a biographical sketch; a brief discussion of his or her song writing characteristics (with emphasis on performers' concerns); a partial or complete listing of annotated songs; recording information; and the composer's individual bibliography. Song annotations include poet, publisher, date of composition (when known), voice type, range, duration, tempo indication, mood, subject matter, vocal style, special difficulties, general impression, artists who have recorded the song, and any other pertinent information. Thirty composers whose contributions are deemed of lesser import are summarized in brief essays. Appendixes include a supplement of recommended songs; a listing of American song anthologies and their contents; and the most recent information regarding publishers cited in the guide. There is also a general discography, a general bibliography, and indexes for both titles and poets. Documenting the most important 110 years in the development of American art song, this book is an indispensable tool for singers, teachers, coaches, accompanists, and libraries.

Download or read book Between the Inside and the Outside written by Liguang Zhou (Pianist) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite achieving success in other genres, several twentieth-century American composers have piano works that have not yet entered the standard repertory. The main purpose of this DMA Document is to advocate for seven modern American piano works and to encourage musicians—especially pianists—to pay more attention to lesser-known music of American composers in the twentieth century in programming their recitals and concerts. This document examines seven piano compositions for solo piano and two pianos. The piano solo pieces are: Five 2-Part Invention by Virgil Thomson; Four Pieces for Piano by John Verrall; Three Piano Pieces, Op. 23 by Ben Weber; Capriccio on Five Notes by Lee Hoiby; and Three Epigrams by Robert Palmer. The pieces for two pianos with four hands are: Hard Times and Carnival by Isadore Freed and The Fringes of a Ball by Robert Starter. These works were all composed during the mid-twentieth century. I write this document also through my own analyses, a recorded performance, and a (teaching) performance guideline of Lee Hoiby’s Capriccio on Five Notes. The seven American composers both embraced tradition and sought innovation. Their music existed in a space between the “inside” and the “outside.” In Chapter 1, I trace the development of music in the United States in the twentieth century. In Chapter 2, I discuss the topics of “American Music,” “American Mavericks,” and “American Pragmatism,” and briefly outline the biographies of some iconic American composers. Chapter 3 presents the biographies of the seven American composers and analyses of the chosen piano works. I analyze the tonality, harmony, dynamics, structure, and style of these seven American piano pieces, in order to examine their status between the “inside” and the “outside.” Chapter 4 is a performance guide for Lee Hoiby’s Capriccio on Five Notes from a pianist’s perspective. Chapter 5 elaborates on the conclusion that these piano works exist between the “inside” and the “outside,” and extols the benefits of programming American modern music.
