Feldblumen (string trio)

Title: Feldblumen

Composer: Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note:  This is an excerpt scored for three voices from a larger work for chorus and soloists. When you listen to any of Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel’s vocal compositions, you can see why her younger brother Felix never submitted any score to his publisher without first getting her approval. They are full of luscious 19th century harmonies and flowing melodies like this one.
