For song texts Argento excerpted portions from <i>Andrée's Story</i>, an English translation of a complete report of the expedition which included the texts from journals and letters written by the explorers. Published in 1930 by the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, <i>Andrée's Story</i> served as the text source for nine songs of Argento's song cycle, and Argento wrote the texts for the four other songs, basing them on accounts from <i>Andrée's Story</i>.</p><p>This document examines the song texts, comparing them with the original material in <i>Andrée's Story</i>, provides musical analyses of the songs, and delineates various technical abilities required for a successful performance. The material of the document is meant to aid the performer by providing a historical background and brief musical suggestions to enhance future performances of the song cycle. This document also provides a list of Argento's vocal works in an appendix.</p> 1997 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1261075936 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1261075936 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
