<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the lyrics of Schubert's Lullaby</h1>
Even if you don't study music, you must have heard this quiet and gentle lullaby, "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby!" "Such a simple but surviving classic music is by no means an ordinary hand. It is the work of the Austrian composer and "king of art songs" Schubert.
Schubert, who had a talent for music from an early age, had a difficult life, and after his untimely death, he composed more than 600 vocal works, seven symphonies, one unfinished symphony, as well as other religious works, operas, theatrical scores and chamber music, and piano works in a short period of thirty-one years.
Franz Schubert
The reason why people call Schubert "the king of art songs" is because he raised the fusion of music and poetry to a higher artistic level. Beethoven, whom Schubert idolized all his life, also composed art songs, and his collection of songs "To the Lover from Afar" was a pioneer in German art songs, but this genre reached new heights in the hands of the humble "dwarf mushroom" Schubert.
Although Schubert was very eager to create great symphonies and sonatas like Beethoven, and he worked hard for them all his life, and finally wrote a series of masterpieces that were affirmed as "great" and "unfinished", Schubert, who had a singing talent, was more condensed in his short and exquisite artistic songs.
The famous Lullaby is a good example. On the surface, a lullaby should be a song sung to a soft baby who has just come into the world, and it should be full of joy, happiness and peace. But when you feel it with your heart, you may hear a hint of sadness in this song.
Schubert wrote three works called Lullaby (German: Wiegenlied), with lyrics from Korn-er (304 AD), Seidle (867 AD), and an unknown author (498 AD), who Schubert also mistakenly believed that the unknown author was the German poet Claudius. The most beloved of the three works is the lullaby of the unknown lyrics.
The lyrics of "Lullaby" are divided into three paragraphs, the first and third paragraphs are full of the mood that a lullaby should have, but in the middle paragraph of the song, the lyrics sing to "Sleep in the sweet grave." (Schlafe, schlafe in dem suBen Grabe)", which adds a layer of blue gloom to the original charming and serene picture.
In classical music, lullabies are also known as lullabies. Originally a song sung by a mother at the cradle to keep her baby asleep quietly, it has gradually developed into a musical genre.
The musical image of lullaby generally has a warm, kind and peaceful atmosphere, the tune is calm, slow and beautiful, and the accompaniment often imitates the rhythm of the cradle swing, which can make the baby enter a sweet sleep.
In addition to lullabies composed for vocals, there are also lullabies for the performance of various instruments. This instrumental lullaby has evolved more in content and scale than a vocal lullaby.
Instrumental lullabies are not limited to hypnosis and depictions of babies falling asleep, but more to express inner thoughts and feelings, portraying a quiet and poetic spiritual realm. In addition, there are some opera works, because of the needs of the plot, there will also be lullabies.
Schubert's "Lullaby" has been sung all over the world, and Schubert, who has been depressed all his life, has written this sweet song for mothers and children with a beautiful heart, it gently accompanies the baby to sleep, it makes the child embrace the mother's love into sleep, and does an angelic and short "lullaby", which also has such a sad and heartbreaking story!
