Sieben unernste Gesänge - J.W. Nelleke (voice, piano)

This collection features seven 'non-serious' songs inspired by the whimsical texts of Joachim Ringelnatz, each imbued with stylistic parodies and quotations that reflect a playful spirit. Perfect for bringing a joyous conclusion to a song recital. The songs do not need to be presented as a continuous cycle, performers can e.g. curate a selection of four to echo Brahms's revered Vier ernste Gesänge (Four Serious Songs). Alternatively, one of these compositions can serve as a merry encore. With their blend of humor and musicality, these songs are an ideal choice to end a performance on a high note.
