Their composers range from the well-known (Loewe and Donizetti) to the obscure (Bürgel, Taubert, and Hill). These works fracture the unitary conception of the German lied in their borrowing from the melodrama and romance genres, illustrating various strategies for setting a ballad text and often communicating through conventionally defined musical styles or topics. Yet particularly through the obsessive re-setting of Herder's translation of \"Darthula's Burial Song,\" the composers of these settings show themselves to be concerned with preserving a German patrimony established by eighteenth-century views of Ossian as a window to a Germanic culture lost to an illiterate past. The settings themselves are both singable and emotionally moving, and their variable and flexible performance contexts help us reimagine nineteenth-century performance practice and would enrich modern recital programs. Moreover, new editions of this music contribute to the slow rehabilitation of Ossian's fraught reception history and to the overcoming of the post-Romantic rejection of excess emotionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Schlacht auf Lora: Fragment aus Ossian, \u003cem\u003eJoseph Klein\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpin's Klage um Morar: Gesang Ossians von Goethe, als Fortsetzung der Colma, \u003cem\u003eCarl Loewe\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalvina: Scène dramatique, \u003cem\u003eGaetano Donizetti\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColma's Klage, \u003cem\u003eAugust Walter\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDas Mädchen von Kola: Von Ossian, \u003cem\u003eErnst Otto Lindner\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDas Mädchen von Kola: Ossian, \u003cem\u003eConstantin Bürgel\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarthula's Grabgesang, \u003cem\u003eWilhelm Taubert\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDas Mädchen von Kola: Aus Ossian's Darthula, \u003cem\u003eWilhelm Hill\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColma's Klage: Nach Ossian, \u003cem\u003eFerdinand Hiller\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarthula's Grabesgesang (Aus Ossian), \u003cem\u003eAdolf Jensen\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A-R Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43769287868495,"sku":"N098","price":374.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/7048479a8142c1a55ec582b71cb22e65.jpg?v=1762191945","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/german-settings-of-ossianic-texts-18401880-ar","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
