Details

Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the public musical concert as an artistic, cultural and social phenomenon. The purpose of this conference is to explore the role a largely private genre – German song– played within these public events. Concert programmes are littered with cryptic mentions of ‘Lied' or ‘Gesang', and although the specific songs are rarely listed, song seems to have played a small but essential role in the makeup of public concerts alongside the more obvious symphonies, concerti, overtures and even arias. Furthermore, as William Weber has argued, it was the inclusion of song which upset the eighteenth-century hierarchies of concert genres, leading to a change in concert programming over the century. Alongside this was the gradual emergence of the practice of singing complete song cycles beginning in the 1850s, and the even later concept of the dedicated song recital.

We invite researchers to submit proposals exploring the following questions:

- What function did German song have within the public concert and how did this shift during the century?

- Which venues and cities both inside and outside the Austro-German realm were particularly significant in the emergence of German song as a recital-worthy genre?

- Who were the singers of German song both inside and outside the Austro-German realm, and what role did song play within their wider repertoires?

- How did the notion of song accompaniment emerge, and how did multifaceted musicians like Liszt, Clara Schumann, or Brahms respond to this work?

- How was German song in concert received by critics and the public?

- How did performers approach programming strategies in concerts and how did this evolve?
