A musical setting of a poem by Goethe about a romantic relationship between two men. Composed 1777, published 1789. For a superb, incisive essay on this subject read Gay Lieder by John Lauritsen, which is available online.
The vocalist is Matthias Goerne. Enormous credit must be given to my friend, Chiara, who proposed the idea for the video, supplied research material and selected the imagery. Thank you, Chiara.
A nice video for a deserving composer.
Goerne is perfect , interpreting this song.
Thank you for posting it.
