Hi,
I need to fill out a form for school and they are asking me to place the
songs I will be doing for a jury in the proper place, except I don't know
where they would go. Any one help? the songs are "Blow, blow thou Winter
Wind" put to music by Thomas A. Arne & "Pretty Ring Time" put to music by
Peter Warlock both from the Shakespear play As You Like It and "Ah! Mio Cor"
from Alcina and "Freudvoll und leidvoll" from Egmont. I don't know where to
go to look up definitions of art songs or arias.
any help would be appreciated or turn me in the direction I need to go.
thank you
Janis
