Reviews
“. . . will likely stand as the definitive English language resource on this genre. Dr. Boire, a specialist in art song history, has put her expertise to good use in this interesting study. Written with insight, charm and theoretical acumen, this book outlines all the major composers from 1930 to the present and specifically analyzes the major vocal works of each composer. . . . unfolds for the reader an amazing chronology of historical events complete with the impact government constraints made on the composers. Numerous musical excerpts from the various works illuminate the author’s theoretical analysis. Translations of the songs and her guide to pronunciation further enhance this book and open a world of important repertoire to the reader.” – Katherine Eberle
