Abstract
This study is an examination of the styles found in the Biblical Songs by Antonin Dvorak, a leading Bohemian composer of the nineteenth century. They cycle, originally set in Czech to the Bohemian Book of Psalms, may, with some notation changes, also be sung in German or English.
Dvorak's composition attempts to achieve a balance between the smooth, flowing vocal line and a rhythmically challenging accompaniment. A study of this cycle is rewarding for the singer.
