Description

Kurt Weill set to music three works by American poet Walt Whitman, completing the series five years later by adding a fourth song. Originally for voice and piano, they were later adapted for voice and orchestra by conductor and composer Carlos Surinach and the team of Weill and Irving Schlein. The carefully fashioned piano part of the originals and the fine sensibility with which Weill transformed the poetry’s complex structures into music provide obvious evidence of his training in the European song tradition. At the same time, he employed a decidedly American idiom at certain Points.
