As summer prepares to take her leave, mezzo-soprano Laura Krumm brings us Schumann’s “Des Sennen Abschied” (“The Alpine Herdman’s Farewell”), with poetry by Fredrich von Schiller:
Farewell, you meadows, / You sunny pastures! /
The herdsman must leave you, / Summer is over.
“Can’t you just feel the slightly chilly breeze of a change in season?,” asks Laura. “This song understands the everyday tragedy of having to change or leave behind something that’s made you happy.”
