Description
Brahms composed his first volume of choral-watzes in August of 1869 to poetry taken from Polydora, an 1855 collection of German folk-poems and love-songs assembled by George Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875). Rather than the usual accompaniment for piano solo, Brahms elected to provide one for piano duet. The first performance was given in Heidelberg on November 4, 1869. The conductor Ernst Rudorff persuaded Brahms to orchestrate the accompaniment for 8 of the 18 selections (plus another subsequently included in his Op.65 set) for a concert given at Berlin's Hochschule on March 19, 1870. Offered here is a new edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. This vocal score features the original setting for voices and piano duet.
- Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes
- Am Gesteine rauscht die Flut
- O die Frauen
- Wie des Abends schöne Röthe
- Die grüne Hopfenranke
- Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel nahm
- Wohl schön bewandt
- Wenn so lind dein Augen mir
- Am Donaustrande
- O wie sanft die Quelle
- Nein, est ist nicht auszukommen
- Schlosser auf, und mache Schlösser
- Vögelein durchrauscht die Luft
- Sieh, wie ist die Welle klar
- Nachtigall, sie singt so schön
- Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe
- Nicht wandle, mein Licht
- Es bebet das Gesträuche
