Andrea Ramsey Choral Series-Er Ist Gekommen is one of four songs presented to Robert Schumann by his wife Clara. Er ist gekommen in Sturm und Regen (He came in storm and rain) ihm schlug beklommen mein Herzentgegen. (my anxious heart beat against his.) Wie konnt' ich ahnen daß seine Bahnen (how could I have known that his path) sich einen sollten meinen Wegen. (should unite itself withmine?) This setting for SSA choir with Piano accompaniment is an excellent example of the composer's ingenuity and is a wonderful introduction to Romantic era style and performance practice.

Set for treble voices and piano accompaniment with English and German texts this piece is from Schumann's Opus 29 Drei Gedichte based on the poetry of Emanuel Geibel. Delightful to hear and more so to sing. Program with My Love Has Gone. Available: SA.

This beloved melody is probably best remembered from The Wizard of Oz! Set to delightful lyrics this partner-style song is created specifically so the boys and the girls can individually learn their unison parts then singtogether with a simple and short 3-part mixed middle section that is equally easy to learn. Terrific for choirs that have separate rehearsals for their male and female singers this is a simple fun and endearing opener for anyconcert!
