'Nachklang: Lust'ge Vögel in dem Wald, Op. 30/7' is a vocal piece composed by Othmar Schoeck. The piece was composed in 1923 and premiered in the same year. It is part of a larger song cycle called 'Elegie' which consists of 12 songs. 'Nachklang: Lust'ge Vögel in dem Wald' is the seventh song in the cycle and is written for a solo voice and piano accompaniment. The piece is in the key of F major and has a moderate tempo. The song is relatively short, lasting only about two minutes. The piece is characterized by its playful and light-hearted nature. The lyrics describe the joyous sounds of birds in the forest and the music reflects this with its lively and cheerful melody. The piano accompaniment is also quite active, with rapid arpeggios and trills that mimic the sounds of the birds. The song is divided into two distinct sections. The first section is in a simple ABA form, with the opening melody repeated at the end. The second section is more complex, with a new melody and a faster tempo. The two sections are connected by a short bridge passage. Overall, 'Nachklang: Lust'ge Vögel in dem Wald' is a charming and delightful piece that showcases Schoeck's skill in composing for the voice. Its playful nature and catchy melody make it a popular choice for recitals and concerts.
