Product Description

Schubert's setting of words from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister" (with my singing translation in English) transposed to the key of E minor for low voice and guitar. In some places the guitar part is simplified in comparison to the original piano part in order to improve the flowing quality and to make it possible for one person to accompany herself/himself on the guitar. A version for low voice and piano, also in E minor, is also available The sound sample is an electronic preview. The three individual songs ("Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt", "Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass", "An die Türen") and also all three together (under the title "Gesänge des Harfners (songs of the harpist)" ) are available on this site The pdf file contains the score and also the separate parts. (This song takes just the first two stanzas of Goethe's poem "Lied des Harfners") Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass, wer nie die kummervollen Nächte auf seinem Bette weinend sass, der kennt euch nicht, ihr himmlischen Mächte. Ihr führt ins Leben uns hinein, ihr lasst den Armen schuldig werden, dann überlasst ihr ihn der Pein; denn alle Schuld rächt sich auf Erden. Who never ate his bread with tears Who never sits by night and cowers Upon his bed in sobbing fears He does not know you, heavenly powers You lead us into life's domain You let the poor suffer debt and dearth Then leave him to deal with pain for ev'ry guilt's avenged here on earth (English translation (c) 2015 David Warin Solomons)
