The Beginnings of the German Lied
Update: 2025-07-30
Description
Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host Dr. Maeve Berry! I am so excited for today’s episode because this is one of my favorite topics in all of music: the German Lied! When we talk about Lied—literally “song” in German—we’re often thinking of the rich 19th-century tradition: Schubert’s Erlkönig, Schumann’s Dichterliebe, or Brahms’ poignant settings of folk texts. But before these names set the gold standard for Romantic art song, Lied had a much humbler beginning.
