Nadia Berrone is both the composer and pianist featured in the Art Songs that are presented here.
There are two categories of Art Songs that you will hear: Religious and Secular. The secular Art Song lyrics are taken from famous poets of the past such as Emily Bronte, Christina Rossetti, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The texts for the religious Art Songs are taken from the Bible.
The songs presented are composed for voice and piano. Occasionally, you will hear a string accompaniment that is used to enhance the instrumental section. The vocal part is performed, in turn, by a baritone and soprano.
The Art Song is a union between words and music. The music that you will hear seeks to convey the meaning and intent—and sometimes the drama—of the words themselves.
