Your translation, your song from D.911 by Franz Schubert, in your own language.

“A Winter’s Journey”

Let’s make Schubert’s timeless song-cycle equally powerful in English. As a leading performer of Winterreise and born bilingual, as a published poet and a sensitive composer, Johannes Löhner is uniquely situated to make this transposition between languages possible. Ensuring that the original intent of Müller’s texts remains unbroken, that his rhyme structures and cadences translate, that the music flows naturally beneath a set of poems that could stand on their own — that is the goal of this project.

7 songs have been translated already; I would love to work on the rest. Commission me to complete one, and the original manuscript and corresponding material, including sketches, are yours, as is the knowlege that you made something powerful accessible to another set of millions of listeners for all of time hereafter.
