Product Description

Robert Schumanns song cycle Myrthen was a wedding present to his wife Clara Wieck. Myrthen, or myrtles, were the flowers traditionally associated with a marriage celebration. Schumann completed the Myrthen cycle in 1840, totaling 26 Lieder (songs for solo voice and piano), with texts by prominent 19th-century German poets such as Heinrich Heine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Widmung, which means Dedication, is the first song in the cycle, based on a love poem by Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866). The frequent repetition of the word you in the text, along with the soaring melody and undulating arpeggios that comprise the music, all serve to convey the composers state of blissful fulfillment as he contemplates marrying his beloved. This arrangement preserves Schumanns original piano part as well as places the melody prominently in the top tenor voice. The lower voices provide supporting harmonies informed by the accompaniment, moving largely in parallel motion, but with their own counter-melodic value. It was premiered by the Young Peoples Chorus of Erie Young Mens Ensemble at the 2012 World Choir Games. The arrangement is also available in a version for SSA voices.
