In New York and London during World War I, the performance of lieder - German art
songs- was roundly prohibited, representing as they did the music and language of
the enemy. But as German musicians returned to the transatlantic circuit in the 1920s,
so too did the songs of Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf, and Richard Strauss. Lieder were
encountered in a variety of venues and media - at luxury hotels and on ocean liners,
in vaudeville productions and at Carnegie Hall, and on gramophone recordings, radio
broadcasts, and films. 0Laura Tunbridge explores the renewed vitality of this refugee
musical form between the world wars, offering a fresh perspective on a period that
was pervaded by anxieties of displacement. Through richly varied case studies, Singing
in the Age of Anxiety traces how lieder were circulated, presented, and consumed in
metropolitan contexts, shedding new light on how music facilitated unlikely crossings
of nationalist and internationalist ideologies during the interwar period
