Description: Heise wrote much of his choral music for a student male choir which he conducted from 1854-1858 and it is concerned, as with most compositions in this genre, with the eternal Romantic themes of love, spring, the forest and drinking with a few nationalist songs and occasional pieces mixed in. If you like Schumann's male choral œuvre, you'll like this. Danish-English texts. Danish National Vocal Ensemble and Choir; Michael Schønwandt. SACD hybrid
