Die Lorelei 🇩🇪 [ASR]
🇩🇪 Die Lorelei

A song from my childhood. My mother sang this. I sang this too... well... I knew the melody. I could even find it on the piano.

A-flat has been my go-to musical note for a long time. A-flat 2 is 103Hz, a good Thai low-tone for a bass voice. A-flat 3 at 207Hz would be fine for a tenor.

The song is actually sad... in spite of its lovely melody. Not really odd then that I was attracted to it as a child. The song about this particular Rheine Maiden was actually written as a poem by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) and published in 1827; it was set to music by Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860).

The actual spot on the Reine is a feared landmark, then and still. And Heine's lyrics and Silcher's melody still haunt.
