They are beautiful, unique and a rewarding source of new repertoire choices for the adventurous singer or pianist. My introduction to <em>romanser<\/em> was a happy accident, and largely a result of my own curiosity and the help of a network of incredibly generous and knowledgeable people. All these serendipitous factors ultimately led to my research, teaching and performing of romanser, and my recently completed anthology. My research into this beautiful genre of art song began with my first trip to Stockholm in 1999, where, for a period of six months, I began my study of the Swedish language with Kerstin Larsson of Stockholm Universitetet and Svenska Nu, a Swedish language study organization. I have returned to Stockholm every year, twice supported by scholarly research institutions, first for five months as an American Scandinavian Foundation grantee in 2003, and then for five months in 2007 as a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the Kungliga Musikh&ouml;gskolan (the Royal Conservatory of Music) in Stockholm. My anthology will be the first of its kind, a scholarly compilation of songs by the important Swedish composers of the late 19th and 20th centuries.&nbsp; It will contain the following; Twenty-five songs by Swedish composers, representative of the best of the genre, and the most frequently recorded by world-class artists<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left:30px;\">\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Word-for-word English translations from the original Swedish texts<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Phonetic and poetic translations<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Guide to Swedish diction<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Information about the composers and poets<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">I have chosen songs that are appropriate repertoire choices for the student singer as well as the professional concert singer, by the following composers:<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 30px;\">\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Hugo Alfv&eacute;n (1872-1960)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Gunnar de Frumerie (1908-1987)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Hilding Halln&auml;s (1903-1984)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Maurice Karkoff (b. 1927)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Lars Erik Larsson (1908- 1986)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Ingemar Liljefors (1906-1981)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Bo Linde (1933-1970)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Ingmar Milveden (b. 1920)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">G&ouml;sta Nordquist (1886-1949)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">G&ouml;sta Nystr&ouml;m (1890-1966)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867-1942)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Ture Rangstr&ouml;m (1884-1947)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Wilhelm Stenhammer (1871-1927)<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">To listen to just a few of the songs featured in the anthology, please click on the following links.&nbsp; I&rsquo;ve included a line from each song text as it will appear in the book, showing the original text with the phonetic and literal translation.
