The Madchenlieder, Op. 103 (A Maiden's Song)

Robert Schumann was a prolific composer of symphonic works, lieder, and character pieces for the piano. He holds a prominent place among the great romantic composers of the nineteenth century. His choral legacy includes a number of pieces for female voices, including these two songs from a set of four folksongs that were originally written for solo voices. The strophic nature of these pieces requires the performers to be especially sensitive to the text. This piece is sung here by the Madison Youth Choirs (of Wisconsin, U.S.), Lisa Kjentvet, conductor, April Kang, pianist, and was performed at First Unitarian Society Church in the concert on May 3rd, 2009, Songs for a Small Planet, Hearing With the Heart performance, Choir Capriccio.
