"German Folk Songs with Melodies" by Friedrich Silcher is a significant collection of traditional German folk songs, compiled and partly arranged by the composer himself. The work contains both lyrics and melodies, making it particularly valuable for singers, music educators, and folk song enthusiasts. Silcher places special emphasis on preserving and passing on cultural heritage, with many of the songs dealing with themes such as nature, homeland, love, sorrow, and conviviality. The collection has had a lasting impact on German musical culture and remains an important part of the musical repertoire in schools, choirs, and at home. "German Folk Songs with Melodies" is an unaltered, high-quality reprint of the original edition from 1869.
