Morgen!

Patrick Vu's arrangement of Richard Strauss' Morgen!, Opus 27, Number 4, for SATB and piano, brings a fresh perspective to this beloved song. Originally composed in 1894, Morgen! is a poignant setting of a German love poem by John Henry Mackay. Vu's SATB arrangement captures the song's essence of timelessness and stillness, featuring an unhurried vocal line with the original flowing piano arpeggios that evoke a sublime feeling of reconciliation and hope. The simple yet profound message of the poem - that the sun will shine again tomorrow - translates beautifully through this arrangement, making it a moving choice for choirs seeking to convey deep emotion and serenity.
