Description:
Does it come from Bavaria, Carinthia - or perhaps from the beautiful Tyrol?
The dialect sounds rather Bavarian, but the literature places the song in Carinthia or Tyrol, both of which are in any case provinces of beautiful neighboring Austria.
The mood is - well - melancholy. The text as well as the tune. The uneven beat sounds a little sluggish, yes, and the poor Bua (that's Bavarian and means boy, or lad) drags himself through the landscape lined with mountains and green alpine meadows.
The poor fellow has lost his sweetheart. Literally translated from Bavarian, it means something like this:

I'm drawn to you wherever I go and wherever I am;
I have no rest and no peace, I am a sad boy.
Even if I ask the clouds: “Take me up, take me with you”.
they fly away with the wind and leave me sadly behind.

And so it goes on. If you now ask yourself why the lovers have parted,
it is obvious that (at the beginning of the 19th century) the boy is at an age when he has to leave his parents' house and farm, go out into the world and seek his fortune.

About my composition:
It is once again in three parts, already in B flat major.
A song movement for 4 voices is followed by a gently registered trio and this time an extremely expansive fugue for 3 voices.
The fugue comprises no less than 158 bars and is almost 6 minutes long in itself.
The beautiful, melancholy song offers a very rewarding motif as a fugue theme, which can be worked on very well in all variations.
And so I have spared nothing in the way of stylistic devices such as inversion, backward motion, diminution and augmentation, modulation.
Finally, the coda calls for a 4th voice, which, however, is to be understood more as an intensification of the sound than as an even denser counterpoint.
After the coda, the work closes with a repetition of the song movement and builds a bridge back from the moving and rhythmically very appealing fugue to the melancholy mood of the song.
