Adam Storck (1780-1822), and thus forms part of
Schubert's song cycle for The Lady of the Lake,

The arrangement is by Welligton Sousa, for String
Orchestra and solo (in various transpositions) in the
original key: B-flat. The arranger chose to write the
orchestra arrangement in the original key of B-flat,
considering it to be the best adaptation for the voice,
allowing the singer to rehearse individually with a
piano. Additionally, there was a rhythmic adaptation,
replacing sixteenth notes with eighth notes in a 12/8
time signature, which will facilitate reading for the
musicians. This beautiful rendition is also touchable
by a string quartet. Moreover, this arrangement proves
to be an excellent choice for various occasions,
including Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, weddings,
and other religious events. Its evocative and timeless
qualities make it a versatile and enchanting addition
to concerts celebrating significant moments and
traditions.
