Mein Herz und deine Stimme (My heart and your voice), WAB 79 is a lied composed by Anton Bruckner in 1868.
Bruckner composed the lied on a text of August von Platen, in 1868 during his stay in Linz. He dedicated it to Pauline Hofmann, sister of his pupil Helene Hofmann. [1] [2] [3]
The original manuscript is lost, but a copy of it is stored in the archive of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek. [1] In 1930, the work was published in Band III/2, pp. 144–150 of the Göllerich/Auer biography. [1] [2] The song is issued in Band XXIII/1, No. 4 of the Gesamtausgabe. [4]
The song is based on a text by August von Platen, to which Bruckner made three small changes: [1]
Laß tief in dir mich lesen, | Let me read deep in you, |
The 60-bar long work in A major is scored for solo voice and piano. [1] The continuous triplet figures on the piano ensure a uniform background for the song. [2]
