Galgenlieder

Anyone who loves Christian Morgenstern’s inimitable wit will be delighted by the "Galgenlieder" (Gallows Songs) in this musical setting by Bäumle! This multifaceted composition for mixed choir (SATB) and a vibrant instrumental ensemble—consisting of flute, oboe, clarinet, strings, and piano—masterfully captures the distinctive humor and whimsical poetry of the literary original. Text and music blend into a lively, humorous concert experience brimming with charm and subtle irony.

Published by Pan Verlag, this edition contains the complete set of instrumental parts. It provides choirs and instrumentalists with the ideal foundation to bring Morgenstern’s timeless classics to the stage with musical joy and rich tonal variety. A true highlight for any engaging and sophisticated concert program!
