DawnQuiet miles of golden sky,And in my heart a sudden flower.I want to clap my hands and sighFor Beauty in her secret bower. Quiet golden miles of dawn??Smiling all the East along;And in my heart nigh fully grown,A little rose-bud of a song.??From ??Last Songs? by Francis LedwidgeDawn, radiant dawn!When morning comes my fears are gone.Daylight breaks, my soul awakes!And songs of Love sing on. ??Italics: Additional text by Jacob NarverudAbout the PoetFrancis Ledwidge (1887??1917) was an Irish poet from Slane, County Meath. Ledwidge started writing at an early age and was first published in a local newspaper when he was fourteen years old. Ledwidge left the local national school shortly after and worked as a farm hand, road surface mender, and copper miner at Beaupark Mine near Slane. Ledwidge became friends with a local landowner, the writer Lord Dunsany, who gave him a workspace in the library of Dunsany Castle and introduced him to literary figures, including William Butler Yeats and Katherine Tynan. Some of Ledwidge??s manuscripts are held in the National Library of Ireland. The main surviving collection, including his early works and personal letters, are in the archives of Dunsany Castle.

Still no Meistersinger year
ISBN 9783765104145. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. German.
According to Wagners plan, 1862 was to have been the Meistersinger year. Although the libretto was completed in January, its musical setting dragged on and was ultimately postponed. Among the reasons for this were his relocation to the town of Biebrich am Rhein, his crushing financial concerns, the constant flow of summer visitors from near and far, his temporary invalidity of several weeks following a dog bite...All of this can be read in detail in the letters which also include Wagners artistic successes of that year: In Frankfurt, he conducted his Lohengrin for the very first time (twelve years after the first performance!); he introduced the Meistersinger Overture in Leipzig and organized concerts with scenes from his operas in Vienna. Of far-reaching biographical import are his complete amnesty he was once again allowed to return to his native Saxony as well as his further distancing and ultimately final separation from his wife Minna.Still no Meistersinger year.

Justin Heinrich Knecht wurde 1752 in Biberach an der Riss geboren, wo er auch nach einem reich erfullten Musikerleben - er war Lehrer, Organist, Kantor und Dirigent der angesehenen Biberacher Orchestervereinigung - 1817 starb Im pastoralen Charakter der ,,Hirtengesange spiegelt sich der galant-empfindsame Stil der Epoche, und die klaviermassig angelegten Variationen entsprechen ganz der suddeutschen Orgelmusikpflege. Der Wandel der geistigen und asthetischen Auffassung in der 2. Halfte des 18. Jahrhunderts liess nicht nur die Orgel in das Fahrwasser der weltlichen Musik geraten, er bahnte auch der Darstellung von Gewitter und Sturm, die bis dahin weitgehend szenischen und oratorischen Werken vorbehalten war, den Weg auf die Orgelemporen. Die ,,Hirtenwonne ist eine durchkomponierte Szene, die in eine klar uberschaubare dreiteilige Grossform eingebunden ist. 1. und 5. Satz beinhalten die Hirtengesange, der 3. Satz enthalt das in die musikalische Romantik vorausweisende Gewitter. Die beiden restlichen Satze haben Gelenkfunktion. Der symmetrischen Gesamtanlage der Komposition scheinen auch die 20 Donnerstellen zu entsprechen, die die Cluster-Technik unseres Jahrhunderts vorwegnehmen. Der starkste ,,Donner mit Schlagen erdrohnt genau in der Werkmitte.
