Robert Schumann’s “Widmung” (Dedication)—a beloved staple of solo vocal repertoire—is now available in this arrangement for Tenor-Bass choirs with piano accompaniment. This piece is a hallmark of Schumann’s Liederjahr (“Year of Song”), in which he set Friedrich Rückert’s poetry to music as a declaration of love to Clara. Choongwoo Steve Ko has creatively adapted this iconic solo work into an interesting choral setting. A powerful choice for contests and festivals.

Translation

You my soul, you my heart,
You my rapture, O you my pain,
You my world in which I live,
My heaven you, to which I aspire,
O you my grave, into which
My grief forever I’ve consigned!
You are repose, you are peace,
You are bestowed on me from heaven.
Your love for me gives me my worth,
Your eyes transfigure me in mine,
You raise me lovingly above myself,
My guardian angel, my better self!

Robert Schumann [1810-1856]
