Composer David Lang recently put out Death Speaks, a record built around the lyrics of Franz Schubert, the master of the art song (and a re-appropriater of lyrics himself — his musical version of Goethe’s poem “Der Erlkönig” goes hard). It features musical contributions from Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) on vocals, Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire) on violin, Bryce Dessner (the National) on guitar, and compositional wunderkind Nico Muhly on piano. Check out the stark video for “Pain Changes” featuring Worden below, along with a Q&A she and Lang provided to contextualize the clip.
