Trockne Blumen, from Die Schöne Müllerin   

Franz Schubert, arr. Ferguson                                                                                                              

Trockne Blumen is the 18th song in Schubert’s well known song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, that follows the narrative of a young traveling miller who on his journeys, meets and falls in love with the daughter of a local miller who does not return his affections.  Trockne blumen (dried or withered flowers) represents the young man’s elaborate death fantasy in which flowers sprout from his grave, expressing his eternal love.    Emi Ferguson
