The Brooklyn Art Song Society (BASS) has announced the first beta version of the BASS Art Song Library.

The library is a growing searchable resource dedicated to art song. Audiences will be able to explore song-by-song listening guides featuring historical context, musical insights, and interpretive commentary, and search by composer, poet, language, topic, or song title.

BASS’ goal is to build a resource for singers, pianists, teachers, students, scholars, and art song lovers.

The Brooklyn Art Song Society has earned a reputation as one of the preeminent organizations dedicated to the vast repertoire of poetry set to music. This 2026–27 season will center around “Passions,” a six-concert exploration of love and longing through some of the most compelling works in the art song repertoire.
