Art Song

An Art Song is a musical composition where a singer is accompanied by a pianist, usually set to poetic or literary texts. It’s a form of classical music that emphasizes expressive singing and artistic interpretation of the words. Art Songs often explore themes like love, nature, or emotion, blending music and poetry to create an intimate, nuanced performance. They are typically composed for concerts or recitals and are valued for their emotional depth, craftsmanship, and the close collaboration between composer, poet, and performer.
