Although it possesses an opus number that would correlate with a middle period piece, this song actually dates from 1796. Frederick von Matthison’s poem has been set by a goodly number of composers, to include the 17 year old Franz Schubert, but it is Beethoven’s through-composed setting that has stood the test of time and become a favorite for tenors. Near the end, note how Beethoven plays with the phrase “auf jedem Purpurblättchen” (“on each little purple page”) like a young god creating a new world. This is one where you just need to close your eyes and roll with it.
Smart lady! Sounds great, Connie.
It was along about 1988 or so, and the factory I was working in was closing.
A couple of us guys called the local radio station with a request.
They played ‘Take This Job And Shove It’ dedicated to us,
and we piped it through the plant’s PA system.
