Description

Richard Strauss (1864-1949) wrote his 3 Ges�nge �lterer deutscher Dichter (3 Songs by Older German Poets) in 1899 for high voice and piano. The three songs are: 1. An sie (To Them; text by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock); 2. Muttert�ndelei (Mother Chatter; text by Gottfried August B�rger); 3. Die Ulme zu Hirsau (The Elm of Hirsau; text by Ludwig Uhland). Muttert�ndelei has become the more popular of the three, depicting a deliriously happy new mother who would not give her child away “for all the coins in the world.” The ebullient and perky song makes sudden, unexpected harmonic modulations, all set to the comic text by Gottfried August B�rger (1747-1794). Strauss orchestrated the accompaniment in 1911 in the original key of F. A version was later transposed to E major. Both keys are available from the publisher. Instrumentation: 2.2+EH.2.2: 2.0.0.0: Perc(2): Str (9-8-7-6-0 in set; no Bass): Solo High Voice.
