ART SONG
Discover a rich tradition of music that honors culture, history
Historically, the canon of art song in Western classical music included French, German, Italian and English texts and compositions. Even as Spanish literature began to be incorporated, it represented primarily European composers. Mexico has its own rich tradition of music, culture and history. Mexican art song was influenced by European genres including opera and chamber works. Dance rhythms and folk songs also laid the foundation for this music. The Mexican Revolution inspired nationalism in music and elements of native cultures found its place in art.
