Erich
Wolfgang Korngold
(1897-1957) composed a
song in 1915 titled
Österreischischer
Soldatenabschied
(Austrian Soldier's Song
of Farewell) for the
Austrian War Relief Fund.
This work inspired the
set of four songs titled
Lieder des Abschieds
(Abschiedslieder; Songs
of Farewell), Op. 14,
each contemplating the
unwilling separation of
loved ones, which was
written between 1920 and
1921 for alto and piano.
These melancholy works
are considered among
Korngold's finest songs.
Songs: 1. Sterbelied
(Requiem); 2. Dies eine
kann mein Sehnen nimmer
fassen (The one thing my
desire can never
comprehend); 3. Mond so
gehst du wieder auf (Moon
once again you rise); 4.
Gefasster Abschied (Calm
Farewell) - this is based
on the earlier
Österreischischer
Soldatenabschied. This
version was first
performed on November 5,
1921, in Vienna, the
composer on the keyboard.
Korngold also conducted
the premiere of his
orchestral version on
January 14, 1923, also in
Vienna.
