| Added by magataganm, 11 Nov 2023 Franz Peter Schubert (1797 – 1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. Despite his short life, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music. His major works include the art song "Erlkönig", the Piano Trout Quintet in A major, the unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the "Great" Symphony No. 9 in C major, a String Quintet, the three last piano sonatas, the opera Fierrabras, the incidental music to the play Rosamunde, and the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise. He was remarkably prolific, writing over 1,500 works in his short career. His compositional style progressed rapidly throughout his short life. The largest number of his compositions are songs for solo voice and piano (roughly 630). Schubert also composed a considerable number of secular works for two or more voices, namely part songs, choruses and cantatas. He completed eight orchestral overtures and seven complete symphonies, in addition to fragments of six others. While he composed no concertos, he did write three concertante works for violin and orchestra. Schubert wrote a large body of music for solo piano, including eleven incontrovertibly completed sonatas and at least eleven more in varying states of completion, numerous miscellaneous works and many short dances, in addition to producing a large set of works for piano four hands. He also wrote over fifty chamber works, including some fragmentary works. Schubert's sacred output includes seven masses, one oratorio and one requiem, among other mass movements and numerous smaller compositions. He completed only eleven of his twenty stage works. In 1825, Schubert composed a selection of seven songs from from Walter Scott's "The Lady of the Lake". They were published in 1826 as his Opus 52. The songs are not intended for a single performer: the three songs of Ellen are for a woman's voice with piano accompaniment, while the songs for Norman and Malcolm Graeme were intended for the baritone Johann Michael Vogl. Of the remaining two songs, one was for a male ensemble and the other for a female ensemble. The cycle consisted of: 1. "Ellens Gesang I" (Ellen's First Song) D.837 Op.52 No. 1 2. "Ellens Gesang II" (Ellen's Second Song) D.838 Op.52 No. 2 3. "Bootgesang" (Hail to the Chief) D.835 Op.52 No. 3 4. "Coronach" (Death song of the women and girls), D.836 Op.52 No. 4 5. "Normans Gesang" (Ellen's Third Song) D.846 Op.52 No. 5 6. "Ellens Gesang III" (Hymne an die Jungfrau / Hymn to the Virgin), D.839 Op.52 No. 6 7. "Lied des gefangenen Jägers" (Song of the Captive Hunter), D.843 Op.52 No. 7 Schubert composed the songs to the German texts. However, with the exception of No. 5, the songs were clearly intended to be published with the original English texts as well. This meant finding correspondences to Storck's sometimes quite free translations, which entailed significant difficulties. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave_Maria_(Schubert)) Although originally composed for Voice & Piano, I created this Interpretation of "Ellens Gesang II" (Ellen's First Song D.838 Op.52 No. 2) for Flute & Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello). | |||
