American art song American art song has a color and an appeal all its own. Departing from the constraints of late nineteenth-century European traditions to draw from elements of American culture including folk music, jazz, and Broadway composers of American art song have created a large body of literature over the last century that has won great popularity with singers and audiences alike. While requiring the same vocal gifts demanded by Strauss and Wolf, there is an ease to this genre (abetted, perhaps, by the accessibility of texts in English) that may trick listeners into thinking they are not hearing lieder
