A Celebration Of Song - High Voice

At the turn of the 20th century Vienna was the centre of a surge in artistic creativity that enveloped all the arts and continued for two decades. A celebration of Song showcases songs written by composers of this period, well- and lesser-known, and explores the diverse musical styles of these Viennese musical elite, as well as offering short biographical information on each individual. Thus, this album will appeal to any high voice singer wishing to become better acquainted with this vibrant period, and will hopefully serve as an introduction to more in-depth study of the featured composers, whose vast works can only be touched on here. For English speaking singers, separate literal translations of the songs are provided for the purpose of aiding interpretation.
