Romanzen und Balladen III op. 145
Schumann composed the Romances and Ballads, collected in four volumes (op. 67, op. 75, op. 145, op. 146), for his own use. Conducting his choirs in Dresden was important and beneficial to Schumann’s life, following the years of crisis and ill-health between 1845 an 1847. Choral conducting restored his self-confidence and joy in creating. This is clear from the passion an enthusiasm with which he worked on these partsongs. Here the choral style which Schumann envisaged is realized in its purest form: Schumann unfolds the possibilities of choral form in its utmost diversity.

Composer
Robert Schumann
| 1810-1856Robert Schumann is still primarily known as a composer of piano and lieder and as a symphonic composer. In his later creative years, however, he saw the composition of choral music as an important focus of his work. Even today, it is important to discover a largely unknown Schumann, whose choral music masterfully combines popular appeal and artistic ambition. Carus offers Schumann's complete works for mixed choir and for female choir a cappella and with piano. They demonstrate his love of experimentation, his sensitivity in the selection and musical realisation of the texts and, last but not least, his independent choral style, which places particular emphasis on refined details in the composition.
