Art songs

Art songs are composed musical pieces where a singer performs a carefully crafted song, often with poetic lyrics, accompanied by piano or other instruments. They are created to express deep emotions, stories, or themes, blending poetry and music to evoke a nuanced artistic experience. Typically associated with classical music traditions, art songs showcase the singer's interpretive skill and the composer’s artistry, making them intimate and expressive works designed for attentive listening, often performed in concert settings or private recitals.
