Letter from Franz Liszt to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 22 Nov 1874

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A letter from the composer Franz Liszt to the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, on page 35 of the June 1923 Shdowland. It reads in English:

Illustrius Poet,
Following our meeting in Rome, you have been so good as to ask of Mr. Henlay a characteristic picture which represents us both at the entrance of Santa Francesca Romana. Permit me to continue this rapprochement by dedicating to you the musical setting of your poem "The Bells Strasbourg Cathedral" --with the Prelude also inspired by of one of your poems, "Excelsior".
"Excelsior"! It is the aim of poetry and music. They perpetually sing to the ages and to the skies the exaltation of the human soul, and thus accompany the "Sursum Corda" which resounds each day the churches and their bells.

"Vigilemus omnes
Laudamus Deum verum"

22 November '74 F. Liszt
