Jungfrau mild, Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen, Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild Soll mein Gebet zu dir hin wehen, Zu dir hin wehen. Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Unbefleckt, Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt, Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft. O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen, O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Reine Magd, Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen, Von deines Auges Huld verjagt, Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen, Da uns dein heilger Trost anweht; Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen, Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht! Ave Maria!

sicians he has known, of Brendel and Beecham, Karajan, Kleiber and Klemperer. His own favourite singer, he says without a moment's hesitation, was "the young Hans Hotter". His best partnership was with Gerald Moore, "the perfect accompanist, with such a rhythmic character to his playing of Schubert." But his greatest influence, Fischer-Dieskau makes clear, was the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler. "He once said to me that the most important thing for a performing artist was to build up a community of love for the music with the audience, to create one fellow feeling among so many people who have come from so many different places and feelings. I have lived with that ideal all my life as a performer." --from an interview with Martin Kettle on his 80th birthday, at Guardian Unlimited Arts. the marvelous pianist Hugh Sung posted here an interesting article on the "cheating" Gerald Moore does in playing this piece to reduce some of his suffering: http://hughsung.com/blog/index.php?itemid=771?a=b text by by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Wiki article on it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlkonig Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm. "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif." "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand, Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind." "Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn? Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön; Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn, Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" "Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau: Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau." "Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt; Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt." "Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an! Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind, Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind, Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not; In seinen Armen das Kind war tot. Who rides so late through night and wind? It is the father with his child. He holds the boy safe in his arm He holds him safe, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so fearfully?" "Father, do you not see the Elf king? The Elf king with crown and robe?" "My son, it's a wisp of fog." "You lovely child, come, go with me! Nothing but beautiful games I'll play with you; Many colourful flowers are on the shore, My mother has many golden robes." "My father, my father, can't you hear, What the Elf king quietly promises me?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child; It is the wind rustling in the dry leaves." "Do you want to come with me, fine lad? My daughters should already be waiting for you; My daughters lead the nightly folkdance And rock you and dance and sing." "My father, my father, and can't you see there, The Elf king daughters in the gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it well: It is the old grey willows gleaming." "I love you, your beautiful form entices me; And if you're not willing, I shall use force." "My father, my father, now he takes hold of me! The Elf king has wounded me!" It horrifies the father; he rides swiftly, Holding in his arms the moaning child. He reaches the yard with great difficulty; In his arms, the child was dead. louvepyramides provided this illuminating comment by Charles Rosen, from his "Piano Notes": "It is intersting to note that the most painful of all octave passages to execute are not to be found in Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninov or even in Listz , not even in the notorius Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody , but in the accompaniment to Schubert's Erlkonig.Those octaves obviously gave trouble even during the compser's lifetime when the piano had a much lighter action , since he wrote out a simplified version of this song - simplified for the pianist , that is . "

t's parachute doesn't open, I was in awe that the show went on. This is a little pictorial do#@!&entary of the morning until about 10 minutes after his death. That was about enough for me. The music is: Funny - One Sick Year - What's Left

Ps I'm sure it's German she's singing it in =) Pps If you're wondering why the crazy pics well, I had nothing else to put with the track and its kinda hard to know what to use when you're dealing with a prayer. maybe this is correct I don`t know Ave Maria! Maiden mild! Listen to a maiden's pleading from these rocks, stark and wild, my prayer shall be wafted to thee. we shall sleep safely till morning, though men be ever so cruel. o Maiden, see a maiden's distress, O Mother, hear a suppliant child. Ave Maria, undefiled! When we upon this rock lie down to slumber, and they protection covers us, The hard stone will seem soft to us. If Though smilest, the scent of roses will float Through this murky cavern, O Mother, hear a child's petition, O maiden, 'tis a maid that calls! Ave Maria, Maiden pure, the demons of the earth and air, drien forth by thy gracious glance cannot stay here with us. we will camly bow to fate Since they holy comfort hovers over us; Mayest though be favourably inclined to the maiden, To the child that pleads for her father! maybe???? also the singer is barbara bonney to all that want to know.
