Musik: Carl Friedrich Zelter (1758-1832) Text: Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832)

O gib, vom weichen Pfühle*,
träumend, ein halb Gehör!
Bei meinem Saitenspiele
schlafe! was willst du mehr?

ALLES SCHWEIGET!


''Alles schweiget, Nachtigallen
locken mit süßen Melodien Tränen ins Auge, Schwermut ins Herz,
locken mit süßen Melodien Tränen ins Auge, Schwermut ins Herz.''

Melodie und Text: Anonymus, früher fälschlich Mozart und Haydn zugeschrieben

HENRY PURCELL ''AYRES FOR THE THEATER'' HELIOS

The great bulk of Purcell's output consists of what used to be called "incidental" or "theater" music, and what now would be film scores. He wrote songs, dances, and "action" music for scores of Restoration plays and "semi- operas" (spoken plays alternating with operatic scenes and interludes). After his death, the best of the instrumental numbers from many of these scores were gathered together and published in this collection. There is an abundance of tuneful and catchy music here, including the famous melody that Britten used as the basis for The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. The performances are also fine, which is a good thing because, surprisingly, this set is the only show in town. --David Hurwitz (Amazon.com)
