About this arrangement

Chorus a cappella SKU: BR.CHB-4865-02 Des Menschen Seele (2. Arrangement). Composed by Franz Schubert. Choir; stapled. Chor-Bibliothek (Choral Library). Romantic period. Choral score. 8 pages. Breitkopf and Haertel #ChB 4865-02. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.CHB-4865-02). ISBN 9790004408735. 7.5 x 10.5 inches. German.This work is based on a poem by Goethe, written on his second trip to Switzerland.Inspired by the 300-meter-high Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Goethe is here describing the human soul and its transience using the water image. Schubert repeatedly revised his musical setting; so, from an original piano lied arose a piece for male quartet - initially a cappella, then with piano -, and finally today's best-known version for male octet, with low strings.
