Clara Schumann’s An einem lichten Morgen
Nov 9th, 2008 by oldfogey
This lovely song by Clara Schumann was offered as a gift to her husband, Robert. As a song it is worthy to stand alongside the best that he wrote. Morning has broken as a clear, sunlit day. The sun, her lover, awakens her, just as it might open the petals on the blossom.
‘I desire only to rest upon your breast, and there transfigure you with the sunlight’s shining joy.’
It is touchingly sung by Geraldine McGreevy.
