I have two days (until sunday) to find and learn Schubert's "Fruhlingsglaube." I don't have the sheet music, I need to find it by sunday, I'm willing to pay an online company thing as long as I get it ASAP, because I have to LEARN the song before then. I've never sung in German before.
HELP, please!!!
Oh, one thing I forgot: it has to be in G major.

Because I decided this week that I'm staying in Israel another year. And so I started looking at options here, like the Jerusalem Academy of Music, and found out that I have to audition on the 19th of this month... and that I need to sing a song in Italian, German, and Hebrew. Italian's no problem, I have dozens in my repetoire, but I need German, and my voice teacher's searching for a good classical Hebrew one for me for our next lesson (sunday). Today we had one, and he told me of a German song that's good for me, worked with me on pronunciation and gave me a translation, and told me that I have to have the song learned (not memorized, but the melody learned) by sunday, if I want to have any hope of having it learned in time.

Okay, well that makes a bit more sense. I was thinking this was for some kind of performance. So why can't he give you the music? Or you could choose a different piece.

I've sung in German and if you really need help with the pronunciation I can do my best to digitally point you in the right direction...

Until you get the music, you could watch german films to get your ear for the language going. I find it really easy to pronounce, but that's no guarantee you will. Is English your first language?

Oh, and I'm looking online. Sometimes a happy soul will have copied it online. You may be able to pay a small fee and get the music that way...

There's other good stuff besides that Schubert Raia, and I'll help you with the German when you find something. Send me an email.

The rest of you: Actually, the pronunciation came pretty easily to me, so that isn't the problem. Pooka, English and Hebrew are sort of both first languages for me. So luckily I don't have to worry about that part. That Schubert is the one we worked on the translation and stuff for, and he played it for me (from memory), and I liked it, and so on... and he said that G major would be the perfect key. But I'll ask him if I can't do Ab instead. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

BTW, if he really has trouble playing it in the original key, you could consider a song with an easier accompaniment. Heidenroslein, for example, is excessively cute and also in G major.
Or Gretchen am Spinnrade. All very well-known, and come across very well.
edit because Auf dem Flusse is nice and in the lovely key of e minor...
