On Wings of Song (Mendelssohn)

"On Wings of Song" (German: "Auf Flügeln des Gesanges") is a piece by Felix Mendelssohn, the second of his "six songs for voice and piano" (Opus 34-2, 1834).[1] It is a setting of the poem Auf Flügeln des Gesanges by the German Romantic poet Heinrich Heine published in his Buch der Lieder in 1827.[2] Franz Liszt arranged On Wings of Song for solo piano (S. 547). This song has been translated into other languages and has been adopted in school music textbooks for China, Japan and Korea.
