Tracks 12-20 explore 1827, one of Hensel's most prolific years of song writing, featuring a selection of beautiful settings of poems by Ludwig Heinrich Christoph H\\xf6lty (1748-1776), many of which are premi\\xe8re recordings. As the album approaches it's end, we hear songs that resemble more closely those published opuses from 1846-47, including the Baroque intoned Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh' and Vorwurf, the latter of which was published posthumously in Hensel's Op. 10 by her mourning brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'[Tim Parker-Langston] sings 21 of the 34 songs, too \\x96 and very well.
