Summary:

More than a dozen years in the making, Schoenberg's monumental Gurre-Lieder is based on the legend of Waldemar, a king, and Tore, the beautiful girl he loved -- set in the Danish castle of Gurre. This comprehensive edition features the original text of these Songs of Gurre, as well as a German singing translation and a new English translation by Stanley Appelbaum. The piano-vocal score is by Alban Berg, a devoted student of Schoenberg's and a major composer in his own right. The significance of Schoenberg's place in 20th-century music cannot be overstated -- his innovations in form and instrumentation have had an incalculable effect on subsequent composers, and a large and eager audience will welcome this new edition of a milestone in music history.
