DEVOTION (Zueignung) is frankly tuneful and effective without going very deep-just a lover's thanksgiving.
Heimkehr is the song of one who, coining home at evening time, expresses his joy at the happy prospect of re-union with a loved one.
No song more aptly fits its title than Traum durch die Dammerung. It is dreamy twilight music, quietly rapturous. The harmony is almost scented, and the gently waving accompaniment may be likened to the swaying of long grasses in the faintly stirring air of eventide. Everything in the song, viewed as a piece of music, is nicely calculated. The words say : ' In the glamour of eve I go peacefully to lover-land.'
