Dear e-friends, I have just posted the lied #70. For this round figure I decided to do something really unusual, so I picked one of my most treasured appropriations, an aria "Maria und Martha �ber dem Lazarusgrabe" from Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach's oratorio "Auferweckung Lazarus" to a text by Herder, which is one of my favorite pieces of music in general. The aria is sang by alto-Maria with interpolations in recitative by mezzo-Martha, so I gave all the recitatives to baroque lute, slightly embellished, while keeping the aria strophe (repeated 3 times) intact. The final product is up a tone from the original f-minor, but the range is not wide, and I do not expect problems of that sort. The PDF file is 800kb, FYI. http://polyhymnion.org/lieder Enjoy, RT
