about

My setting of Goethe's "Wandrers Nachtlied," one of the most famous poems in the German language.

lyrics

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest Du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur! Balde
Ruhest du auch.

My translation:
Over all the hilltops is rest.
In all the treetops you hardly feel a breath.
The little birds are silent in the woods.
Only wait, soon you too will rest.
