1. Auf
Flügeln des
Gesanges (On Wings
of
Song)
The
text is from
Lyrisches
Intermezzo of 1823
by Heinrich Heine
(1797-1856) and tells of
melody’s power to
transport lovers to the
most beautiful night
garden, with bright and
fragrant flowers,
gazelles, a murmuring
stream, and a palm tree,
under which they can
dream. It is well known
in the setting by
Mendelssohn, written in
1834.
2.
Seit Ich Ihn
Gesehen (Since I
First Saw
Him)
The
text is from Adelbert von
Chamisso’s set of poems
Frauen-Liebe und
Leben, most famously
set by Schumann in 1840.
A young girl cries that
she has been blinded by
the vision of a gentleman
who has unknowingly
lifted her from darkness.
Overwhelmed by the new
emotions of adoration and
infatuation, she retreats
into
isolation.
