Description
From "Fünf Lieder nach Texten von Friedrich Rückert," arranged for 12-part mixed choir a cappella.
With both its pentatonic tone material and specific sonority (harp, celeste), the music to Ich atmet' einen linden Duft makes reference to Far-Eastern music as it was known around 1900. Its relatively static nature and the word play of ‘linden Duft' (sweet fragrance) and ‘Lindenduft' (lime tree fragrance) are clearly reminiscent of a haiku (and of course Das Lied von der Erde).
