After Schubert?s death in 1828 his brother Ferdinand passed on thirteen songs based on texts by Ludwig Rellstab and Heinrich Heine to the publisher Haslinger. Schubert had only composed them shortly before his death in August 1828. During his lifetime Schubert actually wanted to publish the two groups of Lieder separately. However the Heine and Rellstab songs are indeed closely related. Haslinger added a fourteenth Lied ?Die Taubenpost? based on a text by Johann Gabriel Seidl which Schubert had composed at the same time as ?Der Hirt auf dem Felsen? (D 965) one month before his death but which in no way bears any relation to the Rellstab and Heine Lieder. Thiscollection was published posthumously by Haslinger early in May 1829 and it was named Schwanengesang traditionally the term given to an artist?s last work before his death. This collection is here presented in an authoritative Barenreiter Urtext Edition for Medium Voice.Based on the Urtext of the ?New Schubert Edition?Foreword by Walther Dürr about the genesis and history of the works and the available sources for each individual Lied (Ger/Eng)English translations of the Lied texts by Richard Wigmore

Frank Bridge’s Three Songs for Medium Voice Viola and Piano is the second volume in a 30-volume series by The Frank Bridge Trust in association with Thames Publishing celebrating the works of Frank Bridge. This publication features the songs Far far from each other Where is it that our soul doth go? and Music when soft voices die and includes the score for Viola separately making the collaboration of the three musicians easier. The songs can be and often are performed together as a cycle but also work as short individual pieces. The first performance of the three songs in December 1908 marked a rareoccurrence as Frank Bridge played the Piano part himself. Far far from each other is the most ambitious of the three pieces for all three musicians. The words are excerpts from Matthew Arnold’s ‘Empedocles on Etna and Other Poems Parting’.Where is it that our soul doth go? is the shortest of the three songs and the words are a translation of the last stanza of Heinrich Heine’s Clarisse translated by K. F. Kroeker.While the first two songs are original settings Bridge first wrote Music when soft voices die for High Voice Piano and Cello in 1903. The present version was transcribed in 1907. Music when soft voices die the short poem providing the words for this piece is one of the most influential and well-known of Shelley’s works.Watch Three Songs performed by Rebecca Ringle (Mezzo-Soprano) Luke Fleming (Viola) and Roger Steptoe (Piano):

In each volume of the series works from the vocal canon have been selected specifically by Mary King for their technical and musical challenges. Each piece is discussed at length starting with the words ('Text' - including a literal translation as appropriate) moving to general advice about how the song might be approached ('Notes') and thenaddressing the technical difficulties the music presents ('Skills'). Expressed in clear language Mary King's approach is direct practical and not limited to one particular teaching method.
