List Of Vocal Compositions By Robert Schumann
The following is a list of the complete vocal output of Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856). Schumann was one of the most prolific composers of the nineteenth century. After producing almost only piano music during the early part of his career, he turned with such vigour in 1839–40 to vocal music that it made up the majority of his published work afterwards. His songs, part-songs and larger-scale vocal works were well-known and lucrative in his lifetime, and they have remained some of his most popular compositions. This list is based upon the ''Thematisch-Bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis'', a comprehensive catalogue of Schumann's works compiled by Margit L. McCorkle and published in 2003. Since Schumann's death scholars have made several separate attempts to catalogue his works not published with Opus number. The result is that one work may bear several separate tags, as designated by the various cataloguers. The list gives as a lemma any WoO (''Werke ohne Opuszahl'' ...

Robert Schumann 1839
The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz'').

Die Lotosblume
''Die Lotosblume'' ("The Nelumbo nucifera, Lotus Flower") is a poem written by Heinrich Heine, and published in his ''Buch der Lieder'' (''The Book of Songs'', 1827). Set to music by Robert Schumann in 1840, this Lied is part of Schumann's ''Myrthen'' collectio(op. 25 no. 7) and Six Songs for Männerchorop. 33 no. 3. It is written in the key of F Major, and set in time. The piece speaks of the blooming of a lotus flower, who hides from the sun and only reveals herself at night to her lover, the moon. Due to circumstances at the time, the lyrics were intended to have a double meaning. When Schumann was courting his future wife Clara, her father was opposed to the relationship. The lotusblume, the sun, and the moon may represent Clara, her father, and Robert Schumann respectively. When the piece begins, there is a heavy octave bass line that may symbolize the father's authority over the relationship. The beginning text is translated to "The lotusflower fears the sun's splendor." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thomas Moore
