Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 - 1847): Hirtenlied "O Winter, schlimmer Winter"

This is a four-part song for SATB choir by Mendelssohn, his Opus 88 No. 3. It was written based on the poem "Hirtenlied" (shepherd's song) by playwright Johann Ludwig Uhland, which starts with "O Winter, schlimmer Winter" (O winter, terrible winter), too cold for the loved one to look outside the window; however, this changes in the third stanza into "O Sommer, schöner Sommer" (O summer, beautiful summer), culminating in the longing for an embrace while seeing a beautiful summer landscape without being detected themselves. Mendelssohn takes this opportunity to switch from G minor to major, and reminding us what powerful imaginations or desires even a terrible winter is capable of creating. Instrument: Johannus Monarke "Breughel".
