Sung by ROGER CLAYSON
(Tenor)
Songs from Goethe :
Spottlied (Ironical Song) from ' Wilhelm Meister *
Coptisches Liod-I (Won. derworker's Song)
Anakreon's Grab (Anacreon's Grave)
Blumengruss (Flower
Greeting)
Gleichund Gleich (Affinity) Frühlings ubera Jahr
(Spring)
THE first song is a jestingly philosophical reflection on the fortunes of two people. One has power and position ; the other has merely had Nature for teacher : though poor, he had a light heart.
The first of the two songs named after the Kophta or Egyptian wonder-worker, sums up much wisdom from many sources in declaring that it is foolish to wait on fools for improvement.
Anacreon's Grave. This is a meditation over the grave of the poet, Anacreon.
The Flower Greeting is a tiny song of one bringing a bunch of flowers, with a thousand greetings.
Affinity calls up a picture of an early flower visited by a bee. ' They surely must have been meant for each other,' is the reflection.
Spring depicts the awakening of the garden, with its lovely colours and its renewed life.
