Classical, Song shiihs
Wandrer's Nachtlied

This song, based on a soothing poem of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is written in mode of ternary internal symmetry (3)9. This hexatonic mode consists of the 6 notes C Eb E G Ab B. Maybe you better know this mode as "the C augmented scale". Only these 6 notes (in different octaves) are used in the song. I've replaced the singing with a synthetic oboe, but if you feel like you could and want to sing this piece, feel free to contact me for collaboration. More information about these modes of internal symmetry can be found on my blog: a-touch-of-music.blogspot.be/2...ook-at-his.html

The poem:

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.

In case your German is not fluent, here's a version of the poem in English made by John Whaley:

Over all the hills
Peace comes anew,
The woodland stills
All through;
The birds make no sound on the bough,
Wait a while,
Soon now
Peace comes to you.
