Du muntre, Du fröhliche Stadt, Ade!” … “Farewell! You lively, happy town, farewell!” The singer rides his horse out of town, bidding farewell to the city, the trees and gardens, flowers and maidens, to the sun, the glowing window at dusk, and the stars. Not without some wistfulness. And so we bid farewell to the year that has past and hopefully gallop into our New Year with as much spirit as Anders, Raucheisen, Schubert, and Rellstab. Composer, Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Poet , Ludwig Rellstab (1799-1860) Tenor, Peter Anders (1908-1954) Pianist, Michael Raucheisen, (1889-1984) https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/thelateyear monthly 0.5 2023-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/388ada8d-4d67-4c45-b392-6244bf7f26d6/IMG_4977.jpeg Blog - the late year - Salt marsh, Inwood, way up at the top of the island.

I was a newcomer to these primitive recordings, some of which were made before the invention of the microphone. As I listened it felt as if being given a key to a magical kingdom. A kingdom that I, a singer, wanted passionately to enter. Here is one offering from the Melody Tape, a recording from 1924. A bit of musical magic. https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/schumann-and-september-a-song monthly 0.5 2022-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/683dfef8-5f2d-4ca2-8a1a-f7a7f5d54b96/fall+foliage+Riverside+Park%2C+NYC Blog - Schumann and September, a song - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/schumann-and-september monthly 0.5 2022-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/76fbf2db-0160-475a-8d0f-ff0850a12a63/IMG_3628.jpeg Blog - Schumann and September https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/in-paradisum monthly 0.5 2022-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/a6b06898-34c9-45d6-8f2c-b3f424f3035a/IMG_4564.jpeg Blog - In paradisum - Make it stand out Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/dancing-tree-meadow-carol-brice monthly 0.5 2022-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/1c173af0-4104-4b10-9ba8-6df74c6ab9bd/IMG_3044.jpeg Blog - Dancing Tree Meadow - Dancer and her cornet player The Hudson after the Snow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/f0dfb0c3-f635-4d7b-8648-5e3a65c3b9c0/IMG_8813.jpeg Blog - Dancing Tree Meadow https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/poulenc-song monthly 0.5 2022-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/28ea2d4b-36e6-4cb6-82e0-52389bf468a5/IMG_7369.jpeg Blog - mystery https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blog/paderewski-and-august-2020 monthly 0.5 2023-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/a321e5d9-ac3a-4e5b-8740-193d23c6fe64/sunset+dandelion+IMG_7070.jpeg Blog - Paderewski and August, 2020 https://www.uwsmelodies.net/about daily 0.75 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/b61c1a80-c6f6-4417-a017-a605b5ac4483/IMG_1949.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.uwsmelodies.net/blank-page-poss-workaround daily 0.75 2022-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/7bc60f1b-05ae-4370-a8f9-6e1a11a6fd41/IMG_4859.jpeg blank page poss. workaround - Make it stand out Joan of Arc park https://www.uwsmelodies.net/empty-page daily 0.75 2022-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/c19434f4-533b-4ed6-8584-006b64b9beb5/IMG_7600.JPG winter sky, earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.uwsmelodies.net/new-page daily 0.75 2022-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/041f5cb9-00b2-4cda-bc13-4b63abee1b3b/Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Testing a blog page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.uwsmelodies.net/contact daily 0.75 2022-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60637d94de5f2b5b58b9e31a/136f8b90-bda1-4a1e-b6da-28f2fcd4f6a1/DEBRA+VANDERLINDE+IMG_8219.jpeg Contact - Contact us. debravanderlinde.com debravanderlinde@gmail.com (646) 489-0015
