Vom Tode [a guitar/voice rewriting of the Beethoven/Gellert hymn]

- - - - -




Here is my arrangement of "Vom Tode," a spiritual lied.

The score is available here:  http://shoestringcen...oven_valdes.pdf

Franz Crass' performance of Beethoven's original (op. 48, no. 3) can be heard here:  http://www.youtube.c...h?v=ThWVko3ZN1A

My version is substantially different from the original.  Lyrically, the message is tweaked; my musical vernacular is in there as well.

What do you think?





"Vom Tode"



Time elapses every hour
What is it you have to live for?
Think, oh man, of your death
Defer not what is not yet
Good man

Speak now Lord that I am earth
Thrown as dust and floating downward
Show me that one day I cease
That one day I might be wise

If at your last friends tremble
Overruled by death
Raise your pure heart to the court
As if it were there.
