Stewart #6487467. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.955861). Vienna is among the most sung about cities in Europe, particularly during the interwar period. Austrian composer Rudolf Sieczynski composed this nostalgic waltz Wien, Du Stadt Meiner Träume (Vienna, City of My Dreams) paying homage the city of his birth. He describes Vienna as if it were a woman, wooing a man with her divine beauty. This song was popularized by the Austrian tenor Richard Tauber in 1935, and is featured in the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut. This arrangement is for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. It uses both the original German lyrics, and Edward Lockton’s English text. Performance time: 2:43+- Heaven, Vienna mine, laughter and music and stars that shine; Wonderful city where I belong, Of her I sing my song.
