Written in
1885, the eight songs
after texts by the now
little-known poet Hermann
von Gilm have a special
place in Richard Strauss'
corpus of Lieder. For the
first time, he composed
an entire set of songs on
texts by a single poet,
collecting them into one
opus that was also to
appear in print. Some of
the numbers in it, like
Zueignung, Die Nacht, and
Allerseelen, are among
the most popular Strauss
songs of all time, but
the entire cycle with its
well-planned structure is
also worthy of closer
examination and
performance. The aspiring
composer quite
consciously aligns
himself with the
tradition ranging from
Schubert to Wolf,
choosing the highly
Romantic subject of
unrequited love and
illuminating its most
diverse facets. The
primary source for the
Henle Urtext edition is
the first edition from
1887, which Strauss
furnished with a
dedication to the Royal
Bavarian chamber singer
Heinrich Vogl - a serious
invitation to today's
male singers not to leave
these wonderful Strauss
songs solely to female
singers!
