Josephine Lang (1815-80) was one of the most gifted, respected, prolific, and widely published song composers of the nineteenth century, yet her life and works have remained virtually unknown. Now, this carefully researched, compelling, and poignant study recognizes the composer for her remarkable accomplishments. Based on years of study of unpublished letters, musical autographs, reviews, and the autobiographical poetry of Lang's husband, Reinhold Köstlin, the biographical portions of the book offer a stunning portrait of the composer as a woman and an artist. In-depth musical analyses interwoven with the biography will be illuminating to scholars and to musicians of all skill levels. The analyses reveal Lang's sensitivity to her chosen poetic texts, as well as the validity of her claim that her songs were her diary; the authors demonstrate that many of the songs are directly connected to the events of Lang's life. The analyses are illustrated by an abundance of musical examples, including a number of complete songs. A companion website, featuring 30 songs by Lang recorded by the authors, complements the text.

Naslagwerk van de liedkunst en de literatuur hierover.
"From 1918 to 1960, song writing dominated Francis Poulenc's creative life. In Diary of my Songs he discusses all his melodies, describing their origins, commenting on performances he has heard, both good and bad, giving singers and pianists guidelines on interpretation and correcting numerous misconceptions. His Diary has a directness, a nonchalant wit and a self-deprecating irony that are characteristic not only of his writings but also of his music. Above all, the Diary is informed by the wisdom, tenderness and profound human sympathy that lie at the root of his greatness as a composer." "In this dual language edition Poulenc's French text appears as he himself had edited it for publication before his death in 1963. It is faced page by page with an English translation by Winifred Radford, enhanced by explanatory notes and a discographical appendix by Patrick Saul and an introduction by Graham Johnson." "Of value to singers, pianists, and all lovers of French music, Diary of my Songs adds importantly to our understanding of one of the best-loved and most approachable of 20th century composers."--BOOK JACKET.

Within this context, Bernac pays tribute to his friend by providing a detailed discussion of all the songs he composed specifically for piano accompaniment. Each song, its description, and the corresponding biographical note on the poet have been translated into English.
