Lord Berners' 'Lieder Album Three Songs in the German Manner' is a collection of three songs composed in the style of German lieder. The album was composed in 1934 and premiered in London the same year. The first song in the album is titled "Die Liebe Farbe" (The Beloved Color) and is set to a poem by the German poet Heinrich Heine. The song is characterized by its melancholic melody and the use of chromatic harmonies. The second song, "Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht" (Death, that is the cool night), is also set to a poem by Heine. This song is more somber in tone and features a slower tempo and a more sparse accompaniment. The final song in the album is titled "Ich hab' in Penna einen Liebsten wohnen" (I have a lover living in Penna) and is set to a traditional German folk song. This song is more upbeat and features a lively melody and a faster tempo. Overall, Lord Berners' 'Lieder Album Three Songs in the German Manner' is a beautiful collection of songs that showcase the composer's skill in composing in the style of German lieder. The album is characterized by its melancholic melodies, chromatic harmonies, and sparse accompaniments.
