Jakob van Eyck

Engels Nachtegaeltje

Immerse yourself in the enchanting soundscape of the early Baroque: With "Engels Nachtegaeltje", Ricarda Schumann breathes new life into one of the most beloved, folk-like melodies by the Dutch master Jacob van Eyck. The piece captivates with its dance-like lightness, poetic grace, and the harmonious interplay between melody and accompaniment.

Thanks to the flexible instrumentation, this musical gem can be wonderfully performed by flute or mandolin and guitar – though any other suitable melody instrument will equally bring the fresh, lyrical character of the nightingale to life.

Published by Edition Grenzland, this edition includes both the score and individual parts. A wonderful addition to the repertoire for concerts, music lessons, or inspiring chamber music moments!
