"Heut Nacht hab ich geträumt von dir" is a popular operetta song composed by Emmerich Kálmán. The song was composed in 1929 and premiered in the same year in Berlin. It is a part of the operetta "Die Herzogin von Chicago" (The Duchess of Chicago), which was one of Kálmán's most successful works. The song is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a dream in which the protagonist sees his beloved. The lyrics are in German and are written by Julius Brammer and Alfred Grünwald. The melody is characterized by its sweeping, romantic lines and lush orchestration. The song is divided into two main sections, each with its own distinct melody and mood. The first section is slow and dreamy, with a gentle, flowing melody that evokes the feeling of a peaceful dream. The second section is more upbeat and energetic, with a lively, dance-like melody that reflects the excitement and joy of the dreamer's reunion with his beloved. One of the most notable characteristics of the song is its use of orchestration. Kálmán employs a full orchestra, including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, to create a rich, full-bodied sound that perfectly complements the romantic lyrics and melody. "Heut Nacht hab ich geträumt von dir" has become one of Kálmán's most enduring works, and it has been performed and recorded by countless artists over the years. Its popularity is a testament to Kálmán's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that speaks to the heart and soul of his listeners.
