Such compositions are widely appreciated for their beauty and their ability to uplift the human spirit. Compositions with nature related texts speak directly of the influence nature played in the composter as well as the librettist's life.

The purpose of this project was to analyze nature related vocal literature of the Baroque and Modern periods.57 pagesAll UHM Honors Projects are protected by copyright.
