"Der Mondabend" ("The moonlit evening"), WAB 200, is a lied composed by Anton Bruckner in c. 1850 for Aloisia Bogner.




History


Der Mondabend, WAB 200, is a lied in A major which Bruckner composed during his stay in St. Florian for his piano pupil Aloisia Bogner in c. 1850. The 16-year old Aloisia Bogner, alias Louise or Luise Bogner, was the older daughter of Michael Bogner, by whom Bruckner had his living accommodation. Bruckner composed for her also the Frühlingslied and the piano works Lancier-Quadrille, WAB 120, and Steiermärker, WAB 122.
The manuscript of the lied is part of the workbook Lieder für eine Singstimme mit Clavier-Begleitung für Fräulein Louise Bogner, which also contains transcriptions of Friedrich Silcher's Ännchen von Tharau, Lebe wohl, geliebtes Wesen from Anton Emil Titl's opera Der Zauberschleier, and Franz Wilhelm Abt's waltz Juheisa juhei, ihr Tänzer herbei.
The workbook, which was in the legacy of Aloisia Bogner, was acquired in 1957 by the Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen in Upper Austria. A facsimile of the workbook has been issued in the Oberösterreichische Schriften zur Volksmusik in 2015.
The premiere recording of the lied is by Robert Holzer on 23 June 2015.




Text


Bruckner's song is based on the poem Der Mondabend by Johann Gottfried Kumpf:




Music


The 12-bar long lied in A major in 34 is scored for solo voice and piano.
A reminiscence – in the same key (A major), meter (34) and first four notes – of Schubert's Der Mondabend, a lied which Aloisia Bogner liked very much.
