Abstract

Abstract

Many art songs relate to ideas of place as they express relationships to sites and interpret their meanings. The place-making they engage in might encompass physical geographies, narratives of place, or negotiations around experience of places and spaces, and explore aspects of spatiality, historicity and temporality. This article listens to songs by Wilhelm Stenhammar, taken from an anniversary recital in 2021, as geographically connected, and considers their relationship – textually, musically, and performatively – to topographies, sites, and situated experiences of place.
