Hohe Stimme / High Voice-As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch?s Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically.The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first 'Hagars Klage' (D 5) dated 30 March 1811 is also his first complete surviving song. The firsteleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811 1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg?s ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied' D 23) which the only one of these songs was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131 3. His apprentice work as it were was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss' D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied.- Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works? compositionand transmission together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage D 5 / Leichenfantasie D 7 /Der Vatermörder D 10 / Klaglied op. post. 131 3 D 23 / Misero pargoletto D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied D 44 / Die Schatten D 50 / Verklärung D 59 / Pensa che questo istante D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher D 77 / Son fra l?onde D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide D 95 / Trost.

The most useful collection of Schubert songs available! Unlike international editions these new songbooks contain only a few favourite songs from Die Schöne Müllerin and Die Wintereisse rather than the rarely-used entire song cycles; this leaves room for many more wonderful individual songs not normally found in Schubert collections.As in the other volumes in The Vocal Library each song features introductory notes including information about the composition the song's biographical context in Schubert's life early performances and comments about poets. The contents for the High Voice and Low Voice editions are almost the same: theHigh Voice volume uniquely includes Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (with removable clarinet part) and Auf dem Strom (with removable horn part); the Low Voice volume uniquely includes Das Abendrot and Romanze. The cover is adorned with a charming 1821 watercolour depicting Schubert and friends at a summer gathering in Atzenbrugg.All songs have been newly edited and researched based on the most current historical material available. German singing text.

Hohe Stimme / High Voice-Based on the New Schubert Edition.Newly engraved clearly presented musical layout.Foreword by Walther Dürr on the history and genesis of the work as well as an explanation of the sources for each individual lied (Eng/Ger).Includes English translations of lieder texts by Richard Wigmore.The lieder in this sixth volume were composed during the period between autumn 1814 and spring 1815. With Nachtgesang (D 119) and Trost in Tränen (D120) Schubert turns to the Strophenlied in its stricter sense for the first time. He develops an interest in this form parallel to his first involvement with Goethe.Schubert during this period an assistant teacherat his father?s school orientated himself towards the so-called Berliner Liederschule particularly the songs of Johann Friedrich Reichardt. By the beginning of the year 1815 he drew his inspiration mainly from the texts of Theodor Körner; however he regularly still produced settings for the poetry of Goethe and Schiller.Also available:Medium Voice & Piano BA 9126Low Voice & Piano BA 9146
