"Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen, Op. 11/2" is a Lied composed by Robert Franz, a German composer known for his contributions to the Lieder genre. The piece was composed in 1858 and premiered in the same year. It is part of a larger song cycle titled "Sechs Gesänge, Op. 11" which consists of six songs. The song is written for a solo voice and piano accompaniment. It is in the key of F major and has a moderate tempo. The piece is divided into three distinct sections or movements. The first movement is marked "Andante con moto" and is characterized by a flowing melody in the piano accompaniment. The vocal line is lyrical and expressive, with a range of dynamics and phrasing that reflect the text. The second movement is marked "Allegro vivace" and is more lively and energetic than the first. The piano accompaniment is more rhythmic and syncopated, with a driving pulse that propels the music forward. The vocal line is more declamatory and forceful, with a sense of urgency that reflects the text. The final movement is marked "Andante" and returns to the lyrical and expressive character of the first movement. The piano accompaniment is more subdued, with a gentle arpeggio figure that supports the vocal line. The vocal line is more introspective and reflective, with a sense of longing and nostalgia that reflects the text. Overall, "Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen, Op. 11/2" is a beautiful example of Robert Franz's skill as a composer of Lieder. The piece is characterized by a flowing melody, expressive vocal line, and sensitive piano accompaniment. The three movements work together to create a cohesive and emotionally powerful musical experience.
