Art Song (Lied) (1) Origin: The term art song was used before the 13th century. In the 16th century, German and Austrian composers combined the polyphonic techniques of the Flemish school with German solo songs since the Middle Ages to form a four-part secular vocal genre - Lied. However, in the subsequent development of the term art song, it especially refers to the German art songs of the Romantic period from the late 18th to the early 19th century. . (2) Meaning: Art songs are songs composed by composers with poems as lyrics and based on the content of the poems. In art songs, music and poetry are organically combined, usually in two forms: dramatic and lyrical, written in sections and through sections, and accompanied by accompaniment. The accompaniment of art songs occupies an important position in the song, and is responsible for content that cannot be expressed by the singing melody. Many accompaniments even have solo value.
