Christian Bester: Afrikaans Art Song Literature, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

For the first time, Afrikaans Art Song Literature gathers together some of the most beloved Afrikaans art songs with translations and pronunciation guides to make them accessible to non-native speakers outside South Africa. Each song includes original International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions and word-for-word translations in English to enable musicians to teach and perform this little-known repertoire. The authors also provide a brief history of Afrikaans Art Song literature, information on poets and composers, and explanations about the unique geography, culture, landscapes, and peoples of South Africa.
