Summary Extended Description Audio Sample   CMP 1641 Set of five songs for voice and piano. Grade 4. Approx. duration: nine minutes. Set includes a piano score and one vocal part. Many 19th century composers, such as Héctor Berlioz and Edward MacDowell, as well as many contemporaneous poets, such as the Italian Solone Monti, found inspiration in Shakespeare’s character, Ophelia, who in ”Hamlet“ is marked by a tragic destiny and unrequited love. This five-song setting can be considered the most representative of Oswaldian production in the genre of song, both with regard to formal construction, as well as the confluence between accompaniment, melodic line and poetic text. “Ofelia,“ premiered in its entirety in Rio de Janeiro in 1905 by Carlos de Carvalho, was frequently performed in Brazil until at least 1938. It was also performed in New York City in 1921 as part of a program that had been organized by the composer‘s son, Alfredo.
