Dichtergarten für Musik VII – „Noch einmal sing‘ es“

In the organizer's words:

In the literary collection "Dichtergarten für Musik", Clara and Robert Schumann compiled poetic testimonies about music from antiquity to the present day. The sixth edition of the event series of the same name follows in the footsteps of the British poet Felicia Hemans.

Hemans' great popularity during her lifetime was due to her talent for treating romantic themes - nature, the innocence of childhood - with engaging fluency. However, her texts also reflect her independence, which was unusual for the time: in her most successful book, "Records of Woman" (1828), she describes the lives of famous and unknown women, describes examples of heroism, rebellion and resistance and links womanhood with the "power of affection". In this way, she gives a voice to the women of her time and is a valued role model for poets such as Frances Harper and Annette von Droste-Hülshoff.

With musical interpretations from the 19th century and beyond, recitations and background knowledge as well as pastries and coffee, the Heine Institute is organizing an afternoon in the spirit of the slogan "Romanticism and Revolution".
