This is So Lit Song Lit, where we reimagine the repertoire by introducing less familiar songs through sound clips and lively discussion! Together we’ll be exploring songs by composers that you may or may not have heard of already, showing how they compare to standard works, and giving you a taste of what they sound like. Join us down the rabbit hole as we expand the song canon!

Emilie Zumsteeg's (1796-1857) father was a composer and her mother owned a music store, so her natural abilities were encouraged early. She made a living teaching voice and piano, and was a well-known composer in her time, with at least 60 Lieder, which were considered innovative by her contemporaries.

Musical clips performed by Toni Marie Palmertree, soprano, and Ellen Rissinger, piano:

Die Unschuld (9 Lieder)
Das Epheublättchen (9 Lieder)
Die Kapelle (6 Lieder)
Der Sternenhimmel (6 Lieder)

Recorded at Morningstar Studios in Norristown, PA.

"Exactly" counter--Ellen 5 (16), Toni 0 (2)
