Lied
Lied (plural Lieder) is a German word, meaning literally "
song"; among English speakers, however, the word is used primarily as a term for
European classical music songs, also known as
art songs. More accurately, the term perhaps is best used to describe specifically songs set to a German poem of reasonably high literary aspirations, most notably during the nineteenth century, beginning with Franz Schubert and culminating with Hugo Wolf. Typically, Lieder are arranged for a single singer and
piano. Sometimes Lieder are gathered in a Liederkreis or "
song cycle" — a series of songs (generally three or more) tied by a single narrative or theme. The composers
Franz Schubert and
Robert Schumann are most closely associated with this genre of classical music.
