Drei Gedichte

Modern Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin's Drei Gedichte 'arranged for the mezzo soprano voice and piano. These three poems were written between 1900 and 1908, and they are very different in terms of form, subject matter, and atmosphere. Liebes-Lied is about a strong but painful love, Buddha in der Glorie , a description of religious ecstasy, quite unusual in the works of Rilke , and Sluss-stück , about death, which exists in the midst of us, in the middle of life.
