Tully Road Music #933063. Published by Tully Road Music (A0.1348279). “Du bist die Ruh’†(D. 776; Op. 59, No. 3) is one of many Lieder for solo voice and piano written by Franz Schubert (1797-1828), with text by Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866). Although Rückert did not originally give the poem a title, Schubert titled his song after its first line, “Du bist die Ruh’,†and Rückert later titled his poem “Kehr ein bei mir,†or “Stay with me.†With a simple yet beautiful melody, sung with a seemingly uninterrupted legato, Schubert conveys the sense of “calm†and “peace†the poet feels in the companionship of his beloved. So many of the Lieder by 19th-century composers like Schubert and Schumann, chief proponents of the genre, lend themselves well to rearrangement for multiple voices. Here, D. Jason Bishop makes one of the most frequently performed German Lieder available to treble ensembles in an SSA arrangement that preserves both the melodic integrity of the song as well as its original piano accompaniment. It is also available in TTB.
