Four Songs Op. 27 High Voice and Piano 史特勞斯理查 高音

在理查-施特勞斯為妻子寶琳-德-阿娜創作的眾多作品中，作品 27 之《四首歌》佔有特殊地位，因為作曲家于 1894 年 9 月 10 日將這些作品作為結婚禮物 "贈送給我心愛的寶琳"。與之前的歌曲集不同的是，這四首歌並不局限于一位詩人，而是施特勞斯將卡爾-亨克爾（Karl Henckell）的詩歌（《Ruhe, meine Seele》）和海因裡希-哈特（Heinrich Hart）的詩歌（《Cäcilie》）與約翰-亨利-麥凱（John Henry Mackay）的兩首詩歌（《Heimliche Aufforderung》和《Morgen》）結合在一起，形成了一束對比鮮明的熱情洋溢的歌曲。作品 27 的第一版於 1894 年出版，為高聲部而作，作曲家在世時又出版了中低聲部的轉調版本，這成為施特勞斯所有歌曲的慣例。Henle 在自己的低聲部 Urtext 版本中重新使用了這些久經考驗的轉調版本。它還為 "Morgen!"提供了另一種轉調方式，以便每位元歌手都能選擇最適合自己嗓音的轉調方式

原文簡介:
Among the many works that Richard Strauss wrote for his wife Pauline de Ahna, the Four Songs op. 27 occupy a special position, for the composer gave these “to my beloved Pauline” as a wedding present on 10 September 1894. In contrast to the earlier song cycles, this is not limited to a single poet, but rather Strauss combined here poems by Karl Henckell (Ruhe, meine Seele) and Heinrich Hart (Cäcilie) with two texts by John Henry Mackay (Heimliche Aufforderung and Morgen) into a contrasting bouquet of effusive songs. A sought-after concert singer, Pauline liked to include her husband's songs in her programmes. She very frequently chose the impressionistic final song, Morgen, which to the present day is the best known of the over 200 songs by Strauss. Besides the first edition published in 1894, the composers autograph, today preserved in New York, was carefully evaluated for the Urtext edition.
