Symphony Atlas

Genre

Voice and orchestra

These are works for solo voice with orchestra and no chorus: orchestral songs and song cycles, concert arias, and solo motets. The orchestra takes the place of the piano in an art song. That gives the composer far more colours, and it lets a song hold its own in a large concert hall.
