LYRICA SOCIETY for WORD-MUSIC RELATIONS

An unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences. —Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence (1920)
