1 The Transcriptions disks (Naive 4947, 2003; Naive 5048, 2007; Naive 5116, 2008) involve a cappella transcriptions of non-choral music, including a number of lieder, and new texted adaptations of popular instrumental music, such as Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’ and Mahler’s ‘Adagietto’.

3 More extreme arrangements of ‘Ständchen’ include versions that appear in the Dreimäderlhaus reworkings Blossom Time (1921) and Lilac Time (1922), and, more recently, its appearance in D. J. Firehorse’s Shoebird (1999).
