Brahms' Vier Ernste Gesange, Moses Turner Jul 1970

Brahms' Vier Ernste Gesange, Moses Turner

All Master's Theses

An investigation into the style characteristics of Vier Ernste Gesange should help one to better interpret and perform the composition. Inasmuch as this cycle is one of Brahms' most introspective compositions, a study of this work would seem to have value for any singer.


Visions Infernales: Characteristics Of Style And Interpretation, George F. Skipworth May 1970

Visions Infernales: Characteristics Of Style And Interpretation, George F. Skipworth

All Master's Theses

Visions Infernales by the French composer Henri Sauguet is a song cycle for the bass voice with piano accompaniment set to a text by the twentieth-century poet, }fax Jacob. This composition, published in France in 1950, is contemporary in style with considerable dissonance, and therefore is probably not well known in this country. However, student and professional should become more familiar with the style characteristics and performance of modern repertoire.
