Summary of This Score

Songs II for High Voice and Piano is part of the progressive publication of Dvo?ák's songs in Urtext edition, following the release of his youth cycle "Cypresses." This second volume (of a planned series of five volumes) gathers mature and late works of the composer, conceived for a demanding and nuanced interpretation, where the piano is not limited to an accompaniment role but fully participates in the color and breathing of the text.

Designed for high voice and piano, the edition presents the songs in chronological order, allowing the listener to follow the evolution of Dvo?ák's language: direct lyricism, a naturally "spoken" sense of singing, and the harmonic richness typical of his late works. Notably included are the cycle Love Songs (Písn? milostné), highly regarded for its expressive intensity, as well as the cycle Three Modern Greek Poems (T?i novorecké básn?) op. 50, characterized by a narrative and contrasting character.

The volume also stands out by integrating rarer pieces and valuable editorial documents: some pages appear for the first time in printed edition, providing access to a repertoire that immediately broadens programming possibilities (recital, exam, competition, diction work). The vocal texts are provided with a trilingual presentation (Czech/English/German), a concrete asset for working on meaning, articulation, and prosody, while facilitating preparation with a coach or collaborative pianist.

Thanks to its critical apparatus and the reliability of the Urtext, this score is suitable both for singers in training and for established performers seeking a reference edition to approach Dvo?ák's songs, with clear, coherent musical material designed for the stage.
