SCHUBERT'S WINTERREISE
Sung by PARRY Jones (Tenor)
DAS WIRTSHAUS (The Wayside Inn). The wanderer stands in a graveyard, and sees in the garland on a tomb a symbol of an] inn-sign. The only resting place for him is the tomb. But even in this place there is no room for him. Still onward he must go.
Mut. (Courage). He plucks up bitter courage and mocks at the heart's complaining.
Die Nebensonnen. (The Mock Suns.) He sees in the heavens a mirage-three suns where one should be. He once had three suns of hope, but now two are gone. Surely, it would be better if the last were to expire.
Der Leiermann. (The Hurdy-gurdy Man.) In the last song of all he stands and watches a poor old hurdy-gurdy man, who patiently turns the handle, rain or shine. ' Let us go together, you and I,' he cries, ' I will make the songs and you shall play them.'
