Die Junge Nonne - Andrea Ramsey Choral Series

Nineteenth century composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828) wrote more than 600 "lieder" or "songs" - vocal songs accompanied by piano. He raised this to an art form by equalizing the importance of the music and poetry and expanding the role of the piano accompaniment. In this composition, take special notice of the text painting depicted by harmonic shifts and descriptive music.
