About Die Nachtigall, Op. 59, No. 4
As spring returns and the nightingale reappears, it sings its familiar songs of love. This settings of Goethe's poem captures the delight of nature's renewal. Mendelssohn's Die Nachtigall is a charming secular part-song, originally conceived for mixed choir but also suitable for women's voices. The German text is brought to life with music that perfectly reflects the joyful lyricism of the words. It is an ideal selection for a concert programme, offering a moment of light and beauty for both singers and listeners alike.
