1840 was Schumann's famous “year of song†that brought forth over 100 lieder. They included Myrthen op. 25, which he dedicated “to his dear bride,†Clara Wieck-Schumann. Besides famous songs such as “Widmung,†“Lotosblume†and “Nussbaum†to texts by German poets, the collection also saw Schumann venture further afield, whether to the Scottish Highlands with settings of Robert Burns or to Italy for the “Venetian Songs†of Thomas Moore. Schumann specialist Kazuko Ozawa has examined the first edition of 1840 and all the manuscript sources. Among the dedicatory autograph copies she has also discovered interesting early versions of individual songs that are here published in an appendix. Our Urtext edition is rounded off with an extensive history of how Myrthen was composed. This volume is a superlative addition to G. Henle Verlag’s series of Robert Schumann's song cycles.

This is the first volume of songs by Charles Ives designed expressly for the young singer. Ives famously asked “Must a song always be a song?” His songs are often miniature dramas, and suggest the visual as much as the auditory. Singers and pianists alike are encouraged to be proactive, and imagine they are actors, or painters, or enter the creative process in some other way.Contents include: 1. Autumn, 2. The Cage, 3. The Circus Band, 4. Down East, 5. Her Eyes, 6. In the Alley, 7. Memories, 8. Nature's Way, 9. The Side Show, 10. There is a lane, 11. The Things Our Fathers Loved, 12. The Waiting Soul.

A young Strauss, at age 21, composed these songs on poems from Hermann von Gilm's Letzte Blatter. In accompanying his wife, a soprano, Strauss produced the performance markings which are presented in this edition. The cycle contains three of his best-known songs in Zueignung, Nichts, and Die Nacht. This edition is based on the Richard Strauss Works Critical Edition.
