- Description
- This is the third of six songs in the song cycle, ‘The Rain is Coming’, a response to Schubert’s ‘Die schöne Müllerin’, told from a female perspective. Beginning where Schubert’s cycle ends, the songs reference themes from the original work and explore the Miller’s daughter’s dreams and desires. Trapped, haunted by the image of finding the dead Miller in the water, she follows the river to seek freedom. This song mirrors the middle song in Schubert's original cycle 'Tränenregen' where the Miller and the Maid sit together by the river.
