The piano-accompanied Lied is undoubtedly the main genre of Pauline Viardot-Garcia's oeuvre. With this volume, we present settings of German texts by such poets as Ludwig Uhland, Eduard Morike, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine, Emanuel Geibel, Ludwig Rellstab and Richard Pohl. Except for the Uhland settings, these German Lieder were written between 1862 and 1871 during Viardot's Baden-Baden period, when she shifted the focus of her activities from singing to composing and teaching. Here she worked, among other things, on the poetry of Eduard Morike, which she called the greatest and most genuine in all German poetry after Goethe.One of her first published songs was the setting of the Uhland poem Des Knaben Berglied. Accompanying herself on the piano, she performed it in 1838 on her first concert tour of Germany. A performance of the song at the Leipzig Gewandhaus prompted Robert Schumann to remark: She showed three talents here [composition, singing and piano playing], each of which would grace its artist. Through her music, Viardot brings the creatures in the poems to life, tracing their different characters and inner states, thus giving the texts a new level of interpretation.

Japan Songs was originally conceived as a song cycle for Voice, Shakuhachi & Piano Trio. In 2019, Kyo-Shin-An Arts asked six beloved composers to each write one song. All six said yes, the premiere was scheduled, and the journey began. When the first rehearsal at long last arrived, in November 2020, we realized we had not commissioned a song cycle but rather a collection of independent gems. Each song captures the personality and style of its creator as well as the deep emotional impact of the pandemic during which it was written. 1. Autumn Mountains by Victoria Bond 2. Eight Thousand Spears by Paul Moravec 3. Not A Trace by James Matheson 4. Praying for Love by Aleksandra Vrebalov 5. In the blink of an eye… by Jay Reise 6. Tree of Pearls by Douglas J. Cuomo Japan Songs can be performed separately, together, and in any order, either as chamber music with piano trio and shakuhachi or in the piano-vocal version. Performers are also welcome to substitute flute for the shakuhachi. Scores and parts for the Piano Trio and Shakuhachi versions are available separately.Voice & Piano Composed: 2020 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.
