"Ich will dir singen ein Hohelieds (6)" is a composition by German composer Rudi Stephan. It was composed in 1911 and premiered on March 17, 1912, in Frankfurt, Germany. The piece is part of a collection of six songs, all of which are based on texts from the Song of Solomon. The composition is divided into three movements. The first movement is marked "Sehr langsam und innig" (very slow and intimate) and is characterized by a gentle, flowing melody in the piano accompaniment. The vocal line is lyrical and expressive, with a range of dynamics and subtle shifts in tempo. The second movement, marked "Lebhaft und sehr rhythmisch" (lively and very rhythmic), is a contrast to the first. The piano accompaniment is more energetic, with a driving rhythm that propels the music forward. The vocal line is more declamatory, with a sense of urgency and intensity. The final movement, marked "Sehr langsam und innig" (very slow and intimate), returns to the mood of the first. The piano accompaniment is once again gentle and flowing, and the vocal line is lyrical and expressive. The movement ends with a sense of quiet contemplation. Overall, "Ich will dir singen ein Hohelieds (6)" is a beautiful and expressive composition that showcases Stephan's skill as a composer. The use of texts from the Song of Solomon adds a spiritual dimension to the music, and the three movements provide a sense of contrast and balance.
