Als ich fortging

With "Als ich fortging", the band Karussell created one of the most moving ballads in German music history – a timeless anthem of farewell, longing, and enduring connection. This sensitive arrangement for three-part mixed choir (SAB: Soprano, Alto, Baritone) and piano masterfully captures the deep melancholy and emotional power of the original.

Thanks to its practical three-part voicing, this piece is ideal for choirs with a smaller male section, retaining full harmonic richness and expressive depth. The atmospheric piano accompaniment harmoniously supports the vocal lines and enhances the stirring mood of the song.

Available as a quality choral score from Zweiklang Verlag – a breathtaking musical highlight for concerts, recitals, and emotionally captivating choral programs!
