Description
All three of Schubert's setting of words from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister" (with my singing translation in English)
("Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt" [Who gives himself to solitude], "Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass" [Who never ate his bread with tears], "An die Türen" [I will creep up to the doors])
transposed to the key of E minor for low voice and piano.
A version for low voice and guitar, also in E minor, is also available
The sound sample is an electronic preview of the first song.
The three songs are also available individually on this site.
