Songs from the Gartenlieder inc Morning Greeting
Hensel, Fanny
4 SATB. These are arrangements of three songs from 'The Gartenlieder', an 1846 collection of seventeen SATB choral songs by Fanny Hensel. Hensel was the sister of Felix Mendelssohn, and they were musically influential on one another. She composed over 500 works, but the vast majority of these still exist only in manuscript. These pieces are not difficult and an interesting introduction to the work of this unjustly neglected composer. English translations of the poems are given in the score.
