Since, however, no opera of Sommer's could hold it's own in the repertoire for any length of time, one overlooked easily the quality of his works and his contribution to the further development of the opera genre. The songs, sung frequently during their lifetime, disappeared from the repertoire of the singers through the time-boundness of the selected poems; Hans Sommer wrote the most important contributions in the area of the art song at a time when his star was already sinking and he no longer had a large audience. The fact that he published his operas and parts of his song making in self-publishing and the publisher Litolff, who had published at least half of the total of about 300 songs Hans Sommer's was dissolved in 1940, a possible revival of works by Hans Sommer's has been simply impossible until now. Sommer's final compositions, which are centered mainly on Goethe's texts, serve as a message to posterity, advocating an intellectual mindset that, throughout his life, was rooted in Naturphilosophie, a philosophical approach to nature that flourished in the German-speaking world in the early 19th century. The selection of texts furthermore bears eloquent testimony to Sommer's loneliness in his final years and the unwavering \"optimism of an incorrigible idealist\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Die Blume Verblüht \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Wozu Soll Ich Reden? \u003cbr\u003e1.3 HÖRT Mich, Ihr Grausamen Götter! \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nicht Lange Ist's Her \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ich Singe Der Kraft \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Weine Nicht \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Mir Glänzen Die Augen \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Wandl' Ich in Dem Morgentau \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Das Köhlerweib Ist Trunken \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Singst Mein Schatz Wie Ein Fink \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Nachtzauber, Op. 9, No. 3 \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Du Milchjunger Knabe \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Die Begegnung \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Desdemona, Op.
