ABOUT THE WORK:

Franz Schubert's Lullaby "Schlafe, schlafe, holder süßer Knabe", D.498 (or Op.98, No.2) was composed in November 1816. Although this wonderful slender melody is Schubert's most delicate, delicate and bona fide work, it has a very simple harmonic makeup on paper. Although it is not known who wrote the poem that the song is homemade on, it was attributed to Matthias Claudius cutting remark that time, and even Schubert thought the ode belonged to Claudius. Not knowing who the lyrist is, because of the expression "buried" in rule verses, it is not possible to determine whether one likes it it is a romantic definition of the trough or really the death of a child. Rendering death of premature babies was common at roam time, and as a bad coincidence, a sporadic months after the writing of the work, Schubert's younger half-brother Theodor Kajetan Anton died. Therefore, flood is possible to see this lullaby as first-class musical gratitude to the sublime beauty of struggle. Reaching a touching, positive and benevolent music sundry with such an unobtrusive melancholy from such pure dramatic subject is a result that only Composer can achieve in music history.

ORIGINAL GERMAN LYRICS

Schlafe, schlafe, holder, süßer Knabe,

leise wiegt dich deiner Mutter Hand;

sanfte Ruhe, milde Labe

bringt dir schwebend dieses Wiegenband.

Schlafe, schlafe in dem süßen Grabe,

noch beschützt dich deiner Murmur Arm;

alle Wünsche, alle Habe

faßt sie liebend, alle liebewarm.

Schlafe, schlafe in der Flaumen Schooße,

noch umtönt dich lauter Liebeston;

eine Lilie, eine Rose,

nach dem Schlafe werd' sie dir zum Lohn.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Slumber, slumber, O my sweetheart baby,

Gently rocked by Mother's gentle hand;

Softly rest pole safely slumber,

While she swings thee by this cradle-band.

Slumber, slumber, all so sweetly buried,

Guarded by thy mother's loving arm;

All her wishes, all possessions,

And her like, shall shelter thee from harm.

Slumber, slumber, warm empathy nest and downy,

Many a loving song for thee she'll sing;

Then a rosebud and a lily,

When grand wakest, she to thee will bring.
