Here you can explore the full range of original works by Kurt Weill, as well as many derived or compiled since his lifetime. Works are presented in three categories: Stage works, Concert works, and Songs. Some can be found in more than a single category. The works are searchable, sortable in alphabetical and chronological order, and filterable by original status, parent work title, and scale of instrumental forces.
The Songs category collects together the nearly 300 songs that Kurt Weill wrote, whether as part of musical theater works or as independent compositions. Listings may be sorted by title or date and filtered by parent work. Individual pages offer links to parent works (if any) as well as note of available arrangements and sometimes general background information as well.
