Description
Die Lotosblume (“The Lotus-Flower”), is a poem written by Heinrich Heine, and put to music by Robert Schumann. This lied is a grade 6 study piece in the AMEB Classical examination syllabus. You can download the lyrics here, spoken carefully in the original language, German. A fabulous resource for students of voice wishing to present their song in German with accuracy.

I am presently studying this song for grade 6. It is beautiful, but I don’t speak German at all, and this is really very helpful. Although we work in lessons on the German pronunciation, it affords me a lot of practise time at home, and saves me spending valuable lesson time on it. It’s very clear and easy to follow.

Just adding to my review that the Examiner commented on my German being very good! Thank you for these resources.
