"Die Blümelein, sie schlafen" is transcribed from "Das Volkslied auf der Blockflöte (f') mit Klavier, Hans Wöllner, Edition Schott 5224, 1963". After Friedrich Silcher, Wilhelm von Zuccalmaglio is one of the finest lieder composers from the German romantic period. His most widely known song is probably "Kein schöner Land", but this one isn't far behind. Schott's "Mein Heimatland" (Ed.2222) also has a version, but it's not nearly as good as this one. However, it additionally mentions as source "1599 French Air". Enjoy! Michael Bednarek http://www.geocities.com/mcmbednarek/ 24-Jul-2000: Changed tempo from crotchet (1/4) = 90 to 96.
