Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! As promised really for the last 2 episodes, I would be extremely remiss if I didn’t speak about poetry, and specifically German poetry, from the 19th century. Many of the texts of famous German lieder from this time are due to the very important figures, of which we are about to chat about. The great poets of the German Romantic movement inspired composers like Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Brahms to create songs that gave music to emotion, language, and imagination in a way the world had never heard before.Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/betweenthebarlines
