your drowsy dream... for the Lord knows where we
shall meet again to be maying another year." The

Masterwork from a female composer
LORELEI
Clara Schumann/
arr. Brandon Williams.
An authentic and representative
lied from a Romantic-era female
composer set in an dynamic

keyboard is evident in this exciting
and descriptive accompaniment that
features driving eighth-note figures
reminiscent of Schubert's Erlkoenig.
A translation and pronunciation guide
