Justice for Josef Rheinberger. He truly doesn’t get enough recognition for the German romantic musical gems he created. Every time I sing one of his pieces, I am so moved by how his muse transcends the page. It is so beautifully crafted and utterly human.

Bleib’ bei uns, denn es will Abend werden,
Und der Tag hat sich geneiget, sich geneiget,
O bleib’ bei uns, denn es will Abend werden.

Bide with us, for evening shadows darken,
And the day will soon be over, soon be over,
O bide with us, for evening shadows darken.
