The Wind and the Weather
Composer Julia Schwartz: “I wrote Der Wind als Liebender (The wind as lover) for a competition in 2015. As I like to compose themed cycles, I searched for additional poems about the weather and found examples in three different languages. This was easy for me as a native English speaker and with French as my first foreign language. And Morgenstern, Teasdale and Verlaine are three of my favorite poets. Of course, the poems are only ostensibly about the phenomenon of weather – they actually deal with nature or love.”
