Description
A setting of the poem by W M Thackeray "The sorrows of Werther", which was a parody of Goethe's early work Die Leiden des jungen Werthers. I wrote the tune for Thackeray's poem back in 1973 but only just decided to publish it today. Versions are available in various keys in the zip file: C, D Bflat, G and F
The sound sample is my performance (in C) recorded today.
