Über die Heide hallet mein Schritt; Dumpf aus der Erde wandert es mit.
Herbst ist gekommen, Frühling ist weit – Gab es denn einmal selige Zeit?
Brauende Nebel geisten umher; Schwarz ist das Kraut und der Himmel so leer
Wär ich hier nur nicht gegangen im Mai! Leben und Liebe – wie flog es vorbei!
I uploaded this song as a demonstration of the new ability of Dreamtonics singers to “sing” in German. This is still the Beta version of the upcoming update. The voicebank I used was the soprano of Choir #2, reduced to a soloist.
I wrote the song decades ago as a style copy somewhat similar to the style of Richard Strauss in the 1890’s. I recorded it some years ago using melismas of a sample library and enjoy very much now to hear it with the text sung.
The instruments are all EastWest Soundsonline’s Symphonic Orchestra.
