Ich Hab Die Nacht Geträumet
"" (I dreamed last night) is a German folk song. It is a melancholic song that tells of a disturbing dream foreshadowing death – a rosemary tree in the garden, falling leaves, and a jar broken to pieces and bleeding a red liquid. In Northern Germany, rosemary was planted in graveyards, and mourners at funerals would sometimes wear rosemary stalks. History It is unknown when the song was first popularized, but the melody was first written and published in 1777 by Friedrich Nicolai in ''Eyn feyner kleyner Almanach'' with the text of "" (A hunter wanted to go hunting). Other versions using the same melody but different lyrics included "" (The leaves fall from the trees) by Siegfried August Mahlmann in 1804/1805, "" (Beautiful children love), and "" (In Koblenz on the bridge). The best-known and most widely used lyrics to the melody were written by German preacher and collector of folk songs August Zarnack.Schmitz-Gropengiesser, Frauk"Ich hab die Nacht geträumet"/ref> Zarnack's ...

A Cappella
''A cappella'' (, also , ; ) music is a performance by a singer or a singing group without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. The term ''a cappella'' was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato musical styles. In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony, coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists, led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music. The term is also used, rarely, as a synonym for ''alla breve''. Early history A cappella could be as old as humanity itself. Research suggests that singing and vocables may have been what early humans used to communicate before the invention of language. The earliest piece of sheet music is thought to have originated from times as early as 2000 B.C. while the earliest that has survived in its entirety is from the first century A.D.: a piece from Greece called the ...
