In this collection, there is a total of 40,115 unique
texts in 89 different languages. Because many
texts have been set by different composers, that translates to a total
of 66,855 Lieder and other vocal pieces (Kunstlieder, mélodies, canzoni, романсы, canciones, liederen, canções, sånger, laulua, písně, piosenki, etc.) and
other classical vocal pieces).
The texts are all displayed in either ISO Latin 1 (an extension of
ASCII that allows characters such as ß, ø, å and
é) or Unicode. The Russian texts are strictly transliterated
into ASCII, but each has a link to convert it to Unicode
Cyrillic. Note that names of Russian poets and composers are less
constrained; for example, rather than "Chajkovskij", the more familiar
North-American-style "Tchaikovsky" is used.
Beneath some languages there is a link to a list of texts that have
been translated to that language. All translations are included in
these lists, both setting-texts and volunteer translations.
Please note: If you notice a song whose language is labelled incorrectly,
please let me know. I may have mixed up some Danish and Norwegian
texts, or mislabelled Nynorsk as Bokmål.
