• How do you
express your
feelings?
•What do you feel when these
emotions are not expressed?
Vocal music is one of the best
tools for expressing one‟s
feelings.
This form of expression became more evident during
the Romantic period.
The parallelisms of music and literature
were clearly evident in almost all forms
of vocal music during the Romantic
period.
Composers interpret poems, mood,
atmosphere and imagery into music.

the art song was written for
solo voice and piano.
• art song has its inspiration
from poetry in this period.

require singers to perform a
greater range of tone color,
dynamics and pitch.

an important source of
musical expressions.

came. It was the place where
all the arts converged: not
only music, but poetry,
painting, architecture and the
dance as well.
