| Sumario: | Gypsy Songs Op.55 lied series by one of the Romantic Period composers Antonin Dvořák (1841-1904) was analysed in this study. Antonin Dvořák, who was born in the Czech Republic, had created his own style by blending traditional Western European composition style with the Czech national music by using bohemian rhythms and national instruments. Written by the composer in 1880, "Gypsy Songs Op.55" is the most essential composition of Dvořák in the area of lied. Dvořák composed his lied series on seven poems of the Bohemian romantic poet Adolf Heyduk for the well-known former tenor in Vienna Gustav Walter to vocalize it. The lied series, which does not include the real gypsy melodies, effectively expresses the soul of Czech national music and the independent lifestyle of the Gypsies with its passionate and cheerful dance rhythms, vibrant vocal lines, and lively piano accompaniment. Firstly, the Romantic Period in which Dvořák lived is outlined, his life and music are explained, and the lied formations in the Romantic Period are conveyed in this study. Each song in the series was examined in terms of its meaning, and musical features with interpretative significance. Translations of the poems originally in German are included, and their connections with accompaniment and musical expressions are reviewed. In the research conducted with a descriptive method, the data obtained through scanning are presented and discussed in a wide range, including the text analysis of the works and vocalization features. This study aims to facilitate students and artists who want to study and learn A. Dvořák's "Gypsy Songs Op.55" Lied Series by revealing specific details that can contribute to their works as well as the literature. |
