- Summary:
- 'A Performance Guide to the Songs of Jean Sibelius' is a resource created specifically for English-speaking performers and teachers, containing a wealth of information about this composer's unique and beautiful songs, many of which have been unjustly neglected. These songs demonstrate a genre of art song very different from the lieder and m?elodie of Sibelius's contemporaries, with influences stemming from the Nordic romans, expressionism, impressionism, and the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. This book is designed to support performers seeking to add these works to their repertoire
