Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Phil Beaman #3380493. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844459).
This beautiful tune was written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1845. He titled it Moderato in Bm when it was first published as Op 67 No 5 in a volume of his Songs Without Words. It was often referred to as Heide Lied , a type of pastoral German folk song. Another title derived from that is Song of the Heather. Many current editions give it the title The Shepherd's Complaint. This arrangement takes a Romantic piece and sets it in 2 part writing. Even without the chords it is still very rich in sound and Romantic in feel. It is not simplified or easier than the original Mendelssohn, just a different interpretation and approach. Both hands are in the Treble Clef throughout. It is always in 3 even when the harmony and phrasing looks to be in 2; except for a section near the end where I have strayed from the original Mendelssohn and clearly marked the LH with tenutos to be in 2 against the RH 3. I have also changed phrasing and articulation for more contrast between the two parts. This arrangement is faithful to the spirit of Mendlessohn yet freshens this beautiful old melody. A great repertoire piece for students. (2 pages)
