Who Is Your Schoner Stern?
Imagine the
Choir Conductor having his choir of old-agers still singing such songs as Mein Schoner Stern, The Man I love, Someday
My Prince Will Come, ... which they enjoy as though they were teen-agers and
sing it even in a church service. He said these songs are Solomon’s Songs of
this age.
No composer
composes the Song Of Solomon, which
are love songs, into music, no pastor dared to preach it.
“I now can sing Mein Schoner Stern by heart” said Opa Johan’s wife happily.
“Who is your Schoner Stern?” Opa Johan whispered.
Then he offered her his cheeks to be kissed.
“You’re really
a scoundrel” she said “indignantly”.
So when you
want to know what Schoner Stern means
you can find the English version in You Tube and hear the beautiful music of R.
Schumann.
