New Wave Recital performs "In Too Deep" by Dead or Alive (originally released 1986 produced by SAW.)

Camera by Larry Roberts.

Art song's brief description: a poem set to classical music, usually for trained voice and piano with a duration of about three minutes. Other names include: solo song, concert song, classical song, piano song and Lied. What does the word Lied mean? It is simply German for art song or classical song. Lied (singular) and Lieder (plural). It is the German practice to capitalize their nouns. Some of the greatest German poets, including Heine and Goethe have been set by composers such as Schubert, Schumann and Wolf.

But this concise definition really doesn't touch the soul of art song. The elements comprise a quartet if you like: poet, composer, singer and pianist. These work together, each complimenting the other resulting in something much greater than the individual elements.

French art song is called mélodie, which looks a lot like the English word melody. Mélodie conforms to the description of classical song given above. Just as Heine has been more often set to song than other poets, one of the greatest French poets, Verlaine, has been frequently set to song by composers such as Fauré and Debussy.
