Du bist die ruh
Music: Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Words: Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866)
Du bist die ruh (You are peace), composed in 1823, is a song of breathtaking beauty,and divine romanticism. “You are peace...I consecrate to you...my eyes and heart…may my heart be full with your pleasure.” The song is taken at a slow tempo with a subdued dynamic, until the change in the third section where the music builds twice to a lovely forte climax, followed by a peacefully quiet resolution.
Franz Peter Schubert (Austrian) was an extremely prolific composer given he only lived to be 31 years of age. He wrote over 600 lieder, ten symphonies (including the “Unfinished”), liturgical music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of chamber music and solo piano music. Schubert was one of the great early Romantic era composers, and the cornerstone of German lieder.
