Product Description

Lilli Marlene (Lili Marlene, Lily Marleen, et al) for some is a song of (political and social) contradictions, but it is first and foremost a love song the tale of a young soldier in love with a girl while they are surrounded by the horrors of war.  Inspired by the poetry of German Hans Leip (1915), set to music by Norbert Schultze (1937) with a traditional folksong-like melody (to a typical war march-like accompaniment); the British Ministry of Information commissioned Tommie Conner (1944) to write a set of English lyrics to encourage British war morale - for they were worried of the effect of German songs popularity on British troops.  This arrangement is for solo voice and piano accompaniment.  It is in the style of a cabaret ballad for after all it is a love song. Conners pronouns have been changed so the tale can be told from the perspective of Lilli Marlene.  Performance time: 3:15+-
