Franz Schubert
In F major, range G2 to D4
The Erl-King is a ghostly king of the forest. A father gallops through the night with his son in his arms; only the boy can see the Erl-King, who tries to lure him away, and when they reach home the child is dead. Schubert wrote it to Goethe’s poem in 1815, at eighteen.
