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.

This new edition supersedes the Nova Music publication of 1982 (NM249) and the European Archive edition (EMA119), originally edited by Georgina Dobrée, both now out of print. This edition is fully re-edited and includes the option of a second clarinet in place of the voice.

Euphonium and piano

SKU: P2.80027

Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Gretchen Renshaw. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.80027).

Written by Franz Schubert (1797-1828) in 1814, Gretchen am Spinnrade (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel), D. 118, has become one of the most famous examples of German lieder from the Romantic era. This lied is a setting of text from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play Faust. Gretchen, a principal character in the play, sits at her spinning wheel and daydreams about Faust, who has managed to seduce her. As Schubert so often did in his lieder, he used the piano accompaniment to depict an important element of the lied. In Greten am Spinnrade, the right hand plays an undulating legato line reminiscent of a spinning wheel while the left hand staccato notes represent the treadle, which is the foot pedal used to make the wheel spin. These accompanimental figures are present throughout the entire piece, except at the climax, where Gretchen becomes distracted by the thought of Faust's kiss and, without realizing it, stops spinning the wheel. A song filled with deep passion, Gretchen am Spinnrade presents an opportunity for the euphonium soloist to display intense musicality while conveying Gretchen's infatuation with Faust.
