Paul Hindemith

Drei Volkslieder

All settings are contrapuntal studies from Hindemith's own composition lessons of the years 1912-14. Notated in 'old clefs', these charming three-part miniatures for two female voices and one male voice have been difficult to access in the complete edition to date. Now, they finally provide access to general practical music-making due to their transcription in modern clefs and the addition of complete verse texts. Compositionally demanding, yet relatively easy-to-play pieces for concerts or even for liturgical purposes, which are ideal especially for small church choirs and choral societies.
