Special Episode Alert! The song that started it all!!! Today we are discussing Felix Mendelssohn’s song Auf Flügeln des Gesanges with text by Heinrich Heine. One day while camping in Arizona, Mandee and Deborah listened to this sublime tune while contemplating the depths of meaning in the words, and voila! the idea for the Follow the Lieder podcast was born!
Within this gorgeous gem of a song we encounter palm trees, gazelles, lotus flowers, giggling violets, twinkling stars, and fragrant, fairytale-telling roses. What’s not to love? Tune in and turn up!!!
