"Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt" is a song from the "Italienisches Liederbuch" by Hugo Wolf. The song was composed in 1890 and premiered in the same year. The "Italienisches Liederbuch" is a collection of 46 songs that Wolf composed between 1890 and 1896. The songs are based on Italian poems translated into German by Paul Heyse. "Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt" is the 10th song in the collection and is a duet for soprano and tenor. The song is in A major and has a moderate tempo. The song has two distinct sections, with the first section being sung by the soprano and the second section being sung by the tenor. The first section of the song is characterized by a flowing melody and a gentle accompaniment. The soprano sings of the beauty of the tenor's blonde hair and asks him to lift his head so she can see his face. The second section of the song is more dramatic, with the tenor singing of his love for the soprano and his desire to be with her forever. Overall, "Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt" is a beautiful and romantic song that showcases Wolf's skill as a composer. The song is a perfect example of the style of music that Wolf was known for, with its flowing melodies, lush harmonies, and expressive lyrics.
