Album for the Young, “Song of the Reaper”
Schumann
About This Music
Song of the Reaper from Album for the Young by Schumann is a short classical piano piece with a solemn, steady and reflective feel. It may suit a funeral or memorial service where quiet instrumental music is preferred. The title gives it an obvious connection with death, but the music itself is restrained rather than dramatic. This piece may be suitable for a moment of reflection, a committal, or another still part of the service. It may especially suit someone who appreciated classical music or wanted something simple, serious and understated.
