The song is characterized by its use of syncopated rhythms and its lively melody. The vocal lines are often in counterpoint, creating a sense of excitement and energy. Overall, Thuille's 'Lieder (3), für drei Frauenstimmen solo nach Gedichten von Joseph von Eichendorff' is a beautiful collection of songs that showcases the composer's skill in writing for multiple voices.
