Making Words Sing: Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Song. By Jonathan Dunsby. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2004. [x, 153 p. ISBN 0-521-83661-1. $65.] Index, bibliography, music examples.

Since the 1980s Jonathan Dunsby has published numerous thought-provoking, influential articles and books concerning the analysis of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music, particularly the music of Brahms and Schoenberg; Schenkerian and semiotic theories; and the relationships between analysis and performance. His latest book, Making Words Sing, is informed by these diverse interests as well as by his mastery of analytical and theoretical concepts.
