DANISH DICTION IN ART SONG
Danish Diction in Art Song is a special anthology of 55 Danish songs that combines scores with IPA transcriptions and translations (lyric and word-to-word), and portraits of the composers.
The publication is the first comprehensive edition of Danish songs with IPA transcriptions written directly into the scores. It covers the period from Weyse to Nielsen and will be followed by a publication of songs from Langgaard to the present.
Along with the publication, a digital media platform containing instructions on diction together with musical recordings which guide the user in mastering the rich Danish song repertoire, has also been launched.
The anthology is edited by Eva Hess Thaysen, Ruben Schachtenhaufen and Christen Stubbe Teglbjærg. It is supported by The Royal Danish Academy of Music, The Danish Ministry of Culture, and The A.P. Møller Foundation.
The anthology is the first publication in the new Edition·S Artistic Research Series in collaboration with The Royal Danish Academy of Music.
