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.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is rightly regarded as the most important composer of the German art song before Schubert. He set new standards in the interplay of cantabile melodies and expressive piano accompaniment. He was also in personal contact with the great poets of his time - including Gleim, Kleist and Lessing - and shared their interest in the close relationship between literary and musical poesy. In his late years Bach planned a comprehensive selection of his songs, but the project was not completed. This edition follows the original manuscript of his Polyhymnia collection.

Silver sound in the church year for mixed choir (SAB and piano ad lib.) is the collection of sacred choral music for senior choirs and older church choirs. For many people, singing is not only a great hobby in terms of music, but also sociability in the choir. As the singers get older, singing is difficult in extreme locations. That is why the arrangements of spiritual songs and psalm settings, which are guaranteed to give your choir a lot of pleasure, are in a pleasantly singable range (soprano to e2, alto to c2, men not lower than G). Since there are more singers than singers in most choirs, the arrangements are in three parts. Last but not least, the chorus score printed extra large and clearly arranged in combination with the pleasant tonal range will ensure that the senior choir can shine into old age. The continuous piano accompaniment supports and gives the choir security. With the sound of silver, (church) choirs can perform even in multiple voices, even in a long-established line-up.
