Schubert’s most famous art song based on Goethe’s eerie text comes to life in this bomb arrangement. The drama between the father, boy, and earl king unfolds true to Schubert’s original, with each character portrayed in a different register. Tension between the boy and the Erlking builds to a climax with a minor jam section perfect for a talented drumset or timbales player. But in the end, the child “war tot!”
This piece is reminiscent of old time calypsos with a typical I, IV, I, V progression, sections with call and response phrases and short sing-able melodies.
