Schumann set the poem in full and added the first stanza of the chorale "Nun danket alle Gott" melody by Johann Crüger text by Martin Rinckart.<br/><br/>"This New Year's Song has some pleasing and original moments. In the earlier part of the piece there is a tuneful Mendelssohnian duet for soprano and alto and some dramatic writing for solo bass including most unusually for Schumann a short passage of recitative. Further variety is achieved by the imaginative use of a large orchestra. This is a work which would justify an occasional revival." Alan Walker: Robert Schumann: The Man & His Music p. 378. J.
