This song was composed by Franz Schubert for voice and piano in October 1816. The words are taken from a German poem by Georg Philipp Schmidt (von Lubeck). "Der Wanderer" was one of the few songs by Schubert that became popular during the composer's lifetime largely due to the recitals given by the celebrated baritone Vogl with the composer as his accompanist . . . .it remains a favourite with singers of the present day. Here it is in a splendid arrangement for male voice choir (TTBB) and piano by Brian Hughes with words in Welsh (translation by Brian Hughes). It is also available with German and English words - Roberton 53228
