[EN]
Much of Schubert's songs do have a simple strophic character. These verses stand half-way between 'Art-song' and 'Folk-song'; the melody seems to be drawn from nature. Schubert marvellously achieved this kind of simplicity in his 'Wiegenlied' (Lullaby) D.498 composed in November 1816 to anonymous verses. For Mille Cherubini in Coro, Schubert's Wiegenlied was adapted by the Italian 'Nativita' tradition by adding an Italian text about 10 singing angels looking down from heaven.

Diese Art von Einfachheit erreichte Schubert wunderbar in seinem im November 1816 zu anonymen Versen komponierten 'Wiegenlied' D.498. Für Mille Cherubini in Coro wurde Schuberts Wiegenlied in der italienischen 'Nativita'-Tradition adaptiert, indem ein italienischer Text über 10 singende Engel hinzugefügt wurde, die vom Himmel herabblicken.
