Hindemith, P :: Echo
Hindemith, P
Echo for flute and piano by Paul Hindemith is considered to be an easy-intermediate twentieth century solo for flute.
'Hindemith's 'Echo' was written in 1942, and published in 1945. Its tempo indication is Rather Fast (quarter= 108-116). It is for flute and piano and was conceived with the purpose of providing worthwhile literature with intermediate performance difficulty. The piece is given interdisciplinary cultural interest when Hindemith attached to it a Romantic verse by the Irish poet, Thomas Moore (1779-1852).'
- Jean Mary Ohlsson, 1975
'How sweet the answer Echo makes
To music at night,
When, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
And far away, o'er lawns and lakes,
Goes answering light!
Yet love hath echoes truer far
And far more sweet
Than e'er, beneath the moonlight's star,
Of horn, or lute, or soft guitar,
The songs repeat.
'Tis when the sigh, in youth sincere,
And only then,
The sigh that's breath'd for one to hear,
Is by that one, that only dear,
Breath'd back again.'
- Thomas Moore
