Das Lied im Grünen, D. 917

Composer: SCHUBERT, Franz
  • “Das Lied im Grünen” (Song in the Country) is an art song written the year before Schubert’s death, in 1827. In this song, Schubert set poetry by actor and author Johann Anton Friedrich Reil (1773-1843), whom Schubert knew and collaborated with on this song.1
  • You will find an English translation of the German poetry here. The poem takes the listener on an extensive countryside walk, admiring the beauty of the surroundings and how peace is found in nature.
