SCHUBERT SONGS
Sung by HELEN HENSCHEL
Wic Ulfru fischt. Ono of the rarely-heard songs from Schubert's inexhaustible store, but one which gives its own message simply and boldly. Ulfru was a disappointed angler.
The Solitary One. A song of quiet contentment. Alone, by his rustic fireside, the singer is happy with memories of work and play, and with only the chirping crickets for company.
The Young Nun. A storm recalls to the novice the. tempest of love which once raged in her heart: now she has found peace in her vocation.
So lasst nich scheinen. Mignon, having played the part of an angel, and handed gifts to two children, muses sadly on life and death : ' So let me appear,' she sings, ' in my robe of white, as I shall be in Heaven hereafter.'
To be sung on the Water. With the sound of running water in the accompaniment, the singer tells of his spirit gliding on the stream of his happiness, like a boat on the river.
The wild Rose (Goethe). Despite its warning that its thorns were sharp, the lad who saw the wild rose by his path would pluck it, and was punished for his theft.
