Abstract Richard Strauss (1864-1949) was the one of excellent post-romancticism composers. He composed approximately 200 songs. This study mainly discusses Mädchenblumen, op. 22, accomplished in his middle composition period. For the purpose of this study with Strauss making use of lyric, expressive melodies and techniques of New German School, we can examine the kinship of vocal, poems, and accompaniment. The lecture-recital document contains three main sections: the biographical information about Richard Strauss, the musical characteristics of Richard Strauss¡¦ Lieder, and a performance analysis of Mädchenblumen. In these four songs, making a lot of tone colors by increasing chromatic techniques and paying much attention to the declamatory, lyric, continuous, leaping melodies, are all showed Strauss¡¦s achievement of Mädchenblumen.
