"An art song is a vocal music composition, usually written for one singer with piano accompaniment. By extension, the term "art song" is used to refer to the genre of such songs.
Aficionados of the genre consider art songs (when written by composers who excel at text setting, lyrical vocal lines, and beautiful, supportive accompaniments) to be among the highest forms of art, unsurpassed in sophistication, subtlety and dramatic truth."
Also, I've got these hung in my apartment and love them. "Rivals" and "Flapper". Beautifully Telling.
{well, maybe propped against the wall for a few months, but someday to be hung}
