Please listen to each of the 3 songs below a few times each and follow the translations as you listen. Then, provide a written analysis of the song. Please talk about how the composer brought the text alive with the music. Talk about text painting. For example, if the text mentions a bird, did the composer write music that sounds like a bird? Tell me what each song is about, and how you feel the composer used his music to tell the story: 1. Die Erlkönig, 2. Gretchen am Spinnrade by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Die Forelle.
