Abstract "Loralee Songer outlines, for singers and voice teachers, crucial information on selected solo vocal works by three major classical composers active during the first half of the twentieth century: Arnold Shoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern. For too long, the remarkable vocal works of these composers have received insufficient attention because many considered their work to be 'unsingable' atonal pieces, musically impossible (or unrewarding) for performers and entirely unsatisfying for audiences."--Page [4] of cover.
