(Text-setting [setting]. The composition of vocal music to a given text. Music with one note per syllable is known as 'syllabic setting' and that with many notes per syllable as 'melismatic setting'; text-setting in which new syllables are enunciated at regular intervals (regardless of the number of notes per syllable) is referred to as 'isochronic'; Strictly speaking, the term 'text-setting' applies only to those cases where music is supplied for a pre-existing verbal text, as in Beethoven's setting of Schiller's An die Freude. Closely analogous interpretative issues are raised, however, in scenarios where words and music are conceived simultaneously as part of the same creative act (as in the works of Wagner, and some works by Schoenberg and Stravinsky), where words and music originate from a collaboration between composer and poet (or 'lyricist', as in the songs of George and Ira Gershwin), where words are supplied for pre-existing music (as in all contrafacta, for example, Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, set to music from his own String Quartet, or in Michael Flanders's song 'Ill Wind', in which the text is set to music by Mozart), or where it is impossible to tell (as in early repertories). In this broader sense, indeed, text-setting is a central concern of virtually all vocal music)

(word-setting see text-setting; text-setting: The process of composing music for a text, and the musical expression of its words. At different times in the history of music, various concerns about text-setting have been paramount. In musical genres where it is especially important to convey the words clearly (e.g. operatic recitative, much liturgical music), the metre and structure of the text are often followed closely by a simple, syllabic melody with little ornamentation. In other forms, usually where the emphasis lies on the emotional expression of the words, the setting may be more florid, with large leaps, extended melismas on a single syllable, rhythmic distortion, and other devices that might obscure the communication of the text. In some present-day music the individual syllables of words are used primarily for their sound quality and seem disconnected from the rest of the text)
