Lyric & Songs

Since time immemorial, people have used singing to express their most intimate feelings, celebrate various occasions or adorn religious rituals. Vocal music has a longer and broader history than almost any other musical genre, so it is not surprising that there are melodies that have been retained in the memory of entire generations.

Although composers know some techniques that help make music easily memorable, there are no secrets when it comes to making a melody become popular.

This recording demonstrates this with a selection of pieces from diverse genres, eras and origins – from fragments of 19th century opera to themes of much more recent, almost contemporary creation – but that everyone will recognize and feel as their own.
