You may have studied this beloved Schubert art song in voice lessons, and now you can share it with developing choirs in a well-constructed, approachable arrangement. The choice of key fits comfortably within range and the Romantic era harmonies are easy to hear. Whether there are two or four hands at the piano, listeners will be hooked by the rippling water and leaping fish in the playful accompaniment. Concerned about the German words? A rhyming English translation provides a charming option. Listen to Fischer-Dieskau's iconic recording as an introduction to the piece or an extension of learning.

The two choruses in Jean Sibelius's Op. 65 are different in both their languages, Swedish and Finnish, as well as their conceptions. Man fran slatten och havet Op. 65A was commissioned by the Music Committee of Svenska Folkskolans Vanner, a Swedish-speaking educational organization which staged a singing festival in Vaasa in June 1912. The first performance took place in the final concert of the festival with about 1300 singers in total, although a string accompaniment had to be used to perform the relatively difficult polyphonic piece.The much simpler Kallion kirkon kellosavel Op. 65B was originally composed by Sibelius as the melody for the carillon of a newly built church in the district Kallio in Helsinki. Reports from the consecration in September 1912, however, named the choir conductor Heikki Klemetti as composer. Sibelius therefore felt forced to write arrangements for piano solo and mixed choir a cappella and publish them. Klemetti eventually wrote a new text for the latter. The current edition includes translations of the texts in German and English as well as an informative preface that is based on the complete edition Jean Sibelius Works, just like the score.

It's the delicate Lied sensitively set for developing voices. Dr. Robinson has skillfully adapted Mendelssohn's classic and arranged an appropriate Romantic-era piano accompaniment to support 2- and 3-part voices. Optional English lyrics are included as well as a complete IPA guide for the German text---a wonderful way to introduce art song.
