Erlkönig
Music: Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Poem: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
I have spent many a long hour in choosing instruments which, when blended correctly will offer the performers both pleasure and challenge. At first sight the score will not appear formidable. However, given the speed of the piece (Schubart marked it at a crotchet equals 152) and the need to allow the solo voices to speak, I believe the score to be challenge enough!
Taking time to acquaint oneself with Schubert’s original will be time well spent in understanding both the storyline of Goethe’s poem and the structure of the piece . I therefore commend the animated presentation by Oxford Lieder on YouTube, which also contains an English translation.
Back to this score, the solo parts are:
Narrator: Alto Trombone "unhurried, tell the story..."
Father: Tenor Trombone "in a bold, reassuring style..."
Child: Flugelhorn (Soprano Tuba) "in a frightened, anguished style..."
Elf-King: Euphonium [scored in C] (Tenor Tuba) "in a haunting style with good old fashioned vibrato..."
Other parts:
2 Bb Trumpets
2 Horns in F
Bass Trombone
Bass Tuba scored in C
If you need a score and parts using a Bb Euphonium and/or Eb/F Bass Tuba then let me know.
