Der lustige Winzer - Alfred Bösendorfer

Der Mond ist aufgegangen

The lyrics to Der Mond ist aufgegangen (The Moon Is Risen) come from Matthias Claudius, one of Germany's best-known poets. The 1779 poem with the original title Abendlied (Evening song) was set to music by Johann Abraham Peter Schulz and has become perhaps the most famous Abendlied in the German-speaking world. Johann de Haan has created a delightful arrangement of this poignant melody. The wind orchestra can optionally be accompanied by a choir (Dutch and German texts are provided).

Der Ritt der Walkren - Richard Wagner

Die Walkre (the Valkyries) is the second of the four works that make up the "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (The Ring of the Nibelung). It premiered in Munich in 1870. The "Ride of the Valkyries" is definitely the best-known piece from this opera andperhaps the most famous of all Wagners works. It was also used as the soundtrack during the helicopter attack in Francis Ford Coppolas film "Apocalypse Now".
