Features: This book selects 300 outstanding art songs from both China and abroad, paying attention to the classicism and representativeness of art songs while also considering the promotion of a diverse musical landscape. Many of the excellent compositions in the book originate from folk songs, and a small number of choral works adapted from art songs or folk songs are also included. Folk songs are the historical soundscapes of nations and the rhythms of the people's hearts. Many outstanding compositions have been nurtured by folk songs, and many adapted folk songs have become highly refined art songs. In the selection process, we have paid great attention to this important foundation. The book also includes a small number of choral works adapted from art songs or folk songs to meet the needs of a broad readership.
