Franz Schubert
Written in G major, range G3 to C5
A love song of complete calm: “You are rest, the gentle peace, the longing and what stills it.” The singer clears out their heart as a home for the one they love and asks to be lit by their light alone. Schubert set Friedrich Rückert’s poem in 1823; the piano part is Schubert’s own.
