More Descriptionhttp://www.areditions.com/german-settings-of-ossianic-texts-1770-1815-c100.html This edition contains vocal works with keyboard accompaniment setting Ossianic texts by German composers. Among others, this volume contains Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg¿s lengthy Colma, known for having influenced Schubert¿s through-composed style, and Carl Friedrich Zelter¿s surprisingly dramatic setting of the same text. Other settings are by Neefe, Seckendorff, Reichardt, Kunzen, Götzloff, and Himmel, and many were distinctly praised by contemporary critics. These frequently melodramatic and unusual settings link the Sturm und Drang of the 1770s to nineteenth-century musical Romanticism.
