But Beethoven's song cycle - and perhaps even more so the quasi-operatic Adelaide - also sets a tone for the entire album, that of longing and of wanting to be elsewhere, near the distant beloved. These are emotions that Schubert, perhaps more than any other composer, has plumbed in depth, and Newby went on to select five of his songs that in various ways depict the restlessness and loneliness of the eternal wanderer. Mahler is another composer who knew something about longing - for instance that it can be deadly, which he demonstrated with his Zu Straßburg auf der Schanz, in which a soldier awaits execution after trying to desert to his homeland while the piano imitates the muffled rolling of drums. The military theme continues in the high-strung Revelge, as a young soldier marches towards his death, thinking about his sweetheart with ever-greater desperation. The final song by Mahler, Urlicht, expresses the anguish and pain of earthly life, and the longing for Heaven and, in effect, death. Framing this programme with five folk song arrangements by Benjamin Britten, James Newby and Joseph Middleton explore Man's never-ending search (geographical or psychological) for that distant object of desire: who, what or wherever it may be.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom Bowling \u0026amp;amp; Other Song Arrangements: No. 6, I Wonder As I Wander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolksong Arrangements, Vol. 3 \u0026amp;quot;British Isles\u0026amp;quot;: No. 2, There\u0026amp;#39;s None To Soothe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDer Wanderer, D. 489\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDer Wanderer, D. 649\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuf Der Donau, Op. 21 No. 1, D. 553\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIm Freien, Op. 80 No. 3, D. 880\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbendstern, D. 806\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdelaide, Op. 46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Songs, Op. 52: No. 4, Maigesang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 1, Auf Dem H\u0026amp;uuml;gel Sitz Ich Sp\u0026amp;auml;hend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 2, Wo Die Berge So Blau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 3, Leichte Segler In Den H\u0026amp;ouml;hen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 4, Diese Wolken In Den H\u0026amp;ouml;hen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 5, Es Kehret Der Maien, Es Bl\u0026amp;uuml;het Die Au\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Die Ferne Geliebte, Op. 98: No. 6, Nimm Sie Hin Denn, Diese Lieder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLieder Und Ges\u0026amp;auml;nge, Vol. 3: No. 10, Zu Stra\u0026amp;szlig;burg Auf Der Schanz\u0026amp;#39;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDes Knaben Wunderhorn (Version For Voice \u0026amp;amp; Piano) [Excerpts]: No. 11a, Revelge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDes Knaben Wunderhorn (Version For Voice \u0026amp;amp; Piano) [Excerpts]: No. 11, Urlicht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolksong Arrangements, Vol. 4 \u0026amp;quot;Moore\u0026amp;#39;s Irish Melodies\u0026amp;quot; (Excerpts): No. 5, At The Mid Hour Of Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolksong Arrangements, Vol. 4 \u0026amp;quot;Moore\u0026amp;#39;s Irish Melodies\u0026amp;quot; (Excerpts): No. 9, The Last Rose Of Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolksong Arrangements, Vol. 4 \u0026amp;quot;Moore\u0026amp;#39;s Irish Melodies\u0026amp;quot; (Excerpts): No. 2, Sail On, Sail On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7318599924755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beethoven \/ Newby \/ Middleton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45456046129350,"sku":"208972","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/3886779-2646881.jpg?v=1768503950","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/products\/i-wonder-as-i-wander-cd","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
