Richard Strauss
FIFTY-SEVEN SONGS
FOR VOICE AND PIANO
Writing in the classic tradition of Berlioz, Wagner and Mahler, Richard Strauss
brought the lied to its culmination in over 200 songs notable for masterly
composition, varied mood and melodic lyricism. This volume contains 57 of his
finest songs, their settings ranging from simple (“Morgen!”) to ornate (“Aller-
seelen”), and their mood from serene (“Ruhe meine Seele”) to passionate
(“Sehnsucht”). Reprinted here from authoritative editions, with new literal
translations of the texts, these lieder offer a rich source of vocal enchantment
sure to delight singers and all lovers of art songs.
