2. ART SONG
- is a vocal music composition, usually written for
one voice
with piano or orchestral accompaniment. By
extension, the term "art song" is used to refer to
the genre of such songs.
Although categorizing a piece of vocal music as
art song rather than as another type
of song (such as a folk song, or an aria) can
sometimes be difficult, most art songs are
settings of lyric poetry
not part of a staged work (such as an opera or a
musical)
3. Johannes Brahms
a German composer and
pianist, and one of the
leading musicians of
the Romantic period. Born in
Hamburg, Brahms spent
much of his professional life
in Vienna, Austria, where he
was a leader of the musical
scene. In his lifetime,
Brahms's popularity and
influence were considerable;
following a comment by the
nineteenth-century
conductor Hans von Bülow,
he is sometimes grouped
with Johann Sebastian
Bach and Ludwig van
Beethoven as one of
the Three Bs.
Works
- Wiegenlied/ Lullaby
4. Franz Peter Schubert
an Austrian composer.
In a short lifespan of just nearly 32
years, Schubert was a prolific
composer, writing some 600 Lieder,
nine symphonies (including the
famous "Unfinished
Symphony"), liturgical music,
operas, some incidental music, and
a large body of chamber and solo
piano music. Appreciation of
Schubert's music during his lifetime
was limited, but interest in his work
increased significantly in the
decades following his death. Franz
Liszt, Robert Schumann,Johannes
Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn,
among others, discovered and
championed his works in the 19th
century. Today, Schubert is seen as
one of the leading exponents of the
early Romantic era in music and he
remains one of the most frequently
performed composers.
