| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 音樂學系 === 101 === On the voice in Lieder: The Interaction of Lyrics and Melody in Hugo Wolf’s Alte Weisen, Sechs Gedichte von Gottfried Keller
Abstract
This paper first investigated the Hugo Wolf’s life experience and family background, which is widely understood as a factor not only affects the process of a composer’s production, but also helps us to perceive the pattern of the composer’s critical consideration. Then, there will be a section for terminology identifying the concept of “lieder,” focalizing on definition and narrowing the scope of research direction.
The first section of this paper discussed about the influences from Wolf’s parents, his personal experiences and other contemporary composers that contributed to the uniqueness of this piece. The second section investigated the interaction between Keller’s poem and Wolf’s musical implementation. By exploring the poet’s background and the underlying concept in the lyrics, this paper further analyzed the relationship between the rhythmic pattern of the text and the form, tonality and motif within the songs, such as the chord progression in line with bass melody, which is in tune with identical textual quality in all six pieces. The last part integrated the discussion of different features of Keller’s poems in Wolf’s Lieder, including five types of musical forms, half tone and chord, recitativo singing, terminological standards and impacts within lyrics and melody.
We can’t make a final conclusion of all the concepts without integrating into the interaction of Wolf’s life, Keller’s poems, textual quality of the poems and the relationship between chord progression and lyrics altogether. It is this integration that gave Wolf’s Lieder an operatic quality in his later years of production, and opened a new leaf for contemporary German Lieders.
