My heart beat, quickly to horse! THE DEUTSCHE SCHUBERT-LIED-EDITION Es war getan fast eh’ gedacht; It was done almost before the thought: In 1816 Franz Schubert, together with his circle of friends, decided to publish a collection of all the songs Der Abend wiegte schon die Erde, Evening cradled the earth already, which he had so far written. Joseph Spaun, whom Schubert had known since his school days, tried his (and Und an den Bergen hing die Nacht; and on the hills hung night; Schubert’s) luck in a letter to the then unquestioned Master of the German language, Johann Wolfgang von Schon stand im Nebelkleid die Eiche, the oak-tree already stood clad in mist, Goethe: Ein aufgetürmter Riese, da, a towering giant, where A selection of German songs will constitute the beginning of this edition; it will consist of eight volumes.

Excellency, the third, poetry by Schiller, the fourth and fifth, works by Klopstock, the sixth by Mathison, Hölty, Salis etc., the seventh and eighth contain songs by Ossian, whose works are quite exceptional. Der Mond von einem Wolkenhügel The moon from a bank of clouds The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition follows the composer’s original concept. All Schubert’s Lieder, over Sah kläglich aus dem Duft hervor, looked lamenting out from the haze, 700 songs, will be grouped according to the poets who inspired him, or according to the circle of writers, Die Winde schwangen leise Flügel, the winds moved their gentle wings, contemporaries, members of certain literary movements and so on, whose works Schubert chose to set to Umsausten schauerlich mein Ohr; and sounded terribly about my ears; music. Fragments and alternative settings, providing their length and quality make them worth recording, and Die Nacht schuf tausend Ungeheuer; night created a thousand monsters; works for two or more voices with piano accompaniment will also make up a part of the edition. Doch frisch und fröhlich war mein Mut: yet fresh and glad was my spirit. Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music. He selected poems from classical Greece, the Middle In meinen Adern welches Feuer! In my veins what fire! Ages and the Renaissance, from eighteenth-century German authors, early Romantics, Biedermeier poets, his In meinem Herzen welche Glut! In my heart what fervour! contemporaries, and, of course, finally, poems by Heinrich Heine, although sadly the two never met. The entire edition is scheduled for completion by 2006. Thanks to the Neue Schubert Ausgabe (New Schubert Dich seh ich und die milde Freude I see you and gentle joy Edition), published by Bärenreiter, which uses primary sources - autograph copies wherever possible - the Floß von dem süßen Blick auf mich, flowed to me from your sweet look, performers have been able to benefit from the most recent research of the editorial team.

  • George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G
    George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G. F. Handel was born in Halle, Germany. He spent the first twenty years of his life in Germany, where he studied composition with his mentor, Friedrich W. Zachow. In 1703, he went to Hamburg to pursue larger musical opportunities where he premiered his first opera Almira in 1705. He spent five years touring Italy where he met several great composers by the names of Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, and his son Domenico Scarlatti. His time in Italy greatly influenced his compositional style. Handel is well known in the Baroque Era for his operas, oratorios, and instrumental compositions. Messiah being the most prolific work which he composed in 1741. The opera Orlando was written for the King’s Theater and debuted in 1733 where it only had ten more performances and was not revived for a great deal of time. The first revival since Handel’s lifetime was given in Halle in 1922. Orlando is an opera seria in three acts. It is a story of a great soldier in Charlemagne’s army – Orlando (Roland). Orlando is in love with the pagan princess Angelica who is in love with another man, Medoro. The great magician Zoroastro casts a spell on Orlando to see a vision urging him to cast away Venus, the goddess of love, and embrace Mars, the god of war. Orlando is kept from his senses until the third act when Zoroastro transforms a grove of palm trees into a cave where he attempts to lift his spell (Sorge infausta una procella). Before he can do so, he burns a cottage down with Medoro in it.

Myrthen, Op. 25, has been studied less than some of his other cycles because it calls into question the modern view of the song cycle and for this reason is difficult to classify. What is most difficult about the classification of Op. 25 is that there is no immediately apparent narrative.

  • The Essential Goethe
    Introduction Reading a French translation of his drama Faust in 1828, Goethe was struck by how “much brighter and more deliberately constructed” it appeared to him than in his original German. He was fascinated by the translation of his writing into other languages, and he was quick to acknowledge the important role of translation in modern culture. Literature, he believed, was becoming less oriented toward the nation. Soon there would be a body of writing— “world literature” was the term he coined for it— that would be international in scope and readership. He would certainly have been delighted to find that his writing is currently enjoying the attention of so many talented translators. English- speaking readers of Faust now have an embarrassment of riches, with modern versions by David Luke, Randall Jarrell, John Williams, and David Constantine. Constantine and Stanley Corngold have recently produced ver- sions of The Sorrows of Young Werther, the sentimental novel of 1774 that made Goethe a European celebrity and prompted Napoleon to award him the Le- gion d’Honneur. Luke and John Whaley have done excellent selections of Goethe’s poetry in English. At the same time the range of Goethe’s writing available in English remains quite narrow, unless the reader is lucky enough to find the twelve volumes of Goethe’s Collected Works published jointly by Princeton University Press and Suhrkamp Verlag in the 1980s. The Princeton edition was an ambitious undertaking. Under the general editorship of three Goethe scholars, Victor Lange, Eric Blackall, and Cyrus Hamlyn, it brought together versions by over twenty translators covering a wide range of Goethe’s writings: poetry, plays, novels and shorter prose fiction, an autobiography, and essays on the arts, philosophy, and science.

  • STUDY the AESTHETIC ASPECTS of GOETHE's POEM Zeynab
    International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2016, 6(6): 347-358 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 URL: www.aessweb.com STUDY THE AESTHETIC ASPECTS OF GOETHE’S POEM Zeynab Rahmanyan1 1Department of Persian Language Literature, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Goethe, the prominent German poet, writer, philosopher and scholar should be regarded as a joint between the literature of Classicism and Romanticism. Some of his works belong to the classical movement and another part of his work belongs to the radical and progressive movement in German Romanticism. In fact, Goethe is known as a poet, scholar and philosopher between the two main streams in Europe: Classicism and Romanticism. He carries the ideas of Classicism and also establishes new ideas of Romanticism. Hence, in terms of aesthetics, he is considered to be among the leading theorists of Romanticism school because he has reflected many creative and pure ideas of Romanticism in his literary and philosophical works. German literature owes to Goethe's intellectual and aestheticism. This article tries to display aesthetic aspects of Goethe’s poem in addition to study the literary and artistic features and characteristics of Romanticism school. © 2016 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved. Keywords: Poetry, Aesthetics, German literature, Romanticism, Goethe. Contribution/ Originality This study is one of very few studies which have investigated about Goethe and its Aesthetic poetry.

Often depicted in history books as the age of the Lied, the early nineteenth century was also the age of the Chorgesang, creating a demand for music for social gatherings. Amateur choruses and partsinging reached their peak of popularity in nineteenth-century Germany.
