The LiederNet Archive (formerly The Lied, Art Song, and Choral Texts Archive) is a donation-supported web archive of art song texts founded in 1995 by Emily Ezust, an American/Canadian computer programmer and amateur violinist. The website was hosted by the REC Music Foundation from 1995–2015.
The LiederNet Archive provides access to both original out-of-copyright song texts and copyright-protected translations submitted by volunteer translators. The website is indexed by composer, text poet or author, first line, title, or language; and it allows you to do words or phrases searches. It is frequently cited as a source in musical studies, where the website's aggregate listings of settings of songs and poems may be more complete or more easily accessible than conventional musicological resources.
