An die Musik Text by Franz von Schober (1796-1882) Set by Franz Schubert (1797-1828), D. 547 (1817), published 1827 as op. 88 no. 4. Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden, Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt, Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb entzunden, Hast mich in eine be�re Welt entr�ckt! Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen, Ein s��er, heiliger Akkord von dir Den Himmel be�rer Zeiten mir erschlossen, Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir daf�r! > And, last but not least, is > there a version of it for baroque lute? Not yet. But that may be temporary,,,,, RT > Thank you! > Manolo Laguillo (Barcelona)
