Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald, Op. 3, No. 5 by Fanny Hensel — Lyrics

Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald Aus den tiefsten Gründen, Droben wird der Herr nun bald An die Sternlein zünden. Wie so stille in den Schlünden, Abendlich nur rauscht der Wald.

About Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald, Op. 3, No. 5

Fanny Hensel's Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald is a partsong for SATB choir, sung in German. The text, by Eichendorff, paints a picture of the forest at dusk, with the trees rustling and stars beginning to appear. It evokes a sense of peace and quietude, as the world prepares for rest. The music reflects this mood, depicting the sounds of the forest and the wanderer's longing for home and stillness. Hensel masterfully captures the gentle descent of evening and the profound sense of peace that settles over nature and the human heart alike in this evocative secular work.
