About: Art song

An Entity of Type: music genre, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An art song is a Western vocal music composition, usually written for one voice with piano accompaniment, and usually in the classical art music tradition. By extension, the term "art song" is used to refer to the collective genre of such songs (e.g., the "art song repertoire"). An art song is most often a musical setting of an independent poem or text, "intended for the concert repertory" "as part of a recital or other relatively formal social occasion". While many pieces of vocal music are easily recognized as art songs, others are more difficult to categorize. For example, a wordless vocalise written by a classical composer is sometimes considered an art song and sometimes not.

  • An art song is a Western vocal music composition, usually written for one voice with piano accompaniment, and usually in the classical art music tradition. By extension, the term "art song" is used to refer to the collective genre of such songs (e.g., the "art song repertoire"). An art song is most often a musical setting of an independent poem or text, "intended for the concert repertory" "as part of a recital or other relatively formal social occasion". While many pieces of vocal music are easily recognized as art songs, others are more difficult to categorize. For example, a wordless vocalise written by a classical composer is sometimes considered an art song and sometimes not. Other factors help define art songs: * Songs that are part of a staged work (such as an aria from an opera or a song from a musical) are not usually considered art songs. However, some Baroque arias that "appear with great frequency in recital performance" are now included in the art song repertoire. * Songs with instruments besides piano (e.g., cello and piano) and/or other singers are referred to as "", and are usually not considered art songs. * Songs originally written for voice and orchestra are called "orchestral songs" and are not usually considered art songs, unless their original version was for solo voice and piano. * Folk songs and traditional songs are generally not considered art songs, unless they are art music-style concert arrangements with piano accompaniment written by a specific composer Several examples of these songs include Aaron Copland's two volumes of Old American Songs, the Folksong arrangements by Benjamin Britten, and the Siete canciones populares españolas (Seven Spanish Folksongs) by Manuel de Falla. * There is no agreement regarding sacred songs. Many song settings of biblical or sacred texts were composed for the concert stage and not for religious services; these are widely known as art songs (for example, the Vier ernste Gesänge by Johannes Brahms). Other sacred songs may or may not be considered art songs. * A group of art songs composed to be performed in a group to form a narrative or dramatic whole is called a song cycle. (en)
  • Als Kunstlied wird eine Gattung des Liedes bezeichnet, die ausschließlich aufgrund von Musiknoten interpretiert wird und sich Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts entwickelte. Das Kunstlied setzt eine klassische Gesangsausbildung voraus und unterscheidet sich durch den Aufführungsrahmen des Liederabends traditionell von der Arie in Oper und Oratorium sowie vom Theaterlied im Schauspiel (wie dem Wiener Couplet). Nach einer gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts verbreiteten Ansicht bestand der Unterschied zum Volkslied darin, dass dieses mündlich tradiert werde und oft keinen bekannten Komponisten vorweisen könne, während Kunstlieder anspruchsvolle Vertonungen eines namentlich bekannten Komponisten seien. Kunstlieder werden generell auf Lyrik komponiert. (de)
  • Une mélodie est une composition musicale écrite à partir du texte d'un poème pour être chantée avec un accompagnement généralement au piano. La chanson, le chant, la romance, la mélodie française, le lied allemand, l'art song britannique ou américain relèvent de ce genre musical. (fr)
  • Una canzone d'arte è una composizione musicale vocale, di solito scritta per una voce con accompagnamento di pianoforte, e di solito nella tradizione della musica classica. Per estensione il termine canzone d'arte viene utilizzato per indicare il genere collettivo di tali canzoni (ad esempio, il "repertorio delle canzoni d'arte"). Una canzone d'arte è spesso un'ambientazione musicale basata su un poema o un testo indipendente, "destinato al repertorio di concerto" "come parte di un recital o di un'altra occasione sociale relativamente ufficiale". Mentre molti brani di musica vocale sono facilmente riconoscibili come canzoni d'arte, altri sono più difficili da classificare. Ad esempio, un brano vocale senza parole scritto da un compositore classico è talvolta considerato una canzone d'arte e talvolta no. (it)
