Mädle aus dem schwarzen Wald (Black Forest Girls) was written for the operetta
Schwarzwaldmädel (Black Forest Girl) by August Neidhard which ran for more than 900 performances starting in 1917. This charming piece is sung by four ladies and a gentleman the general message being that Black Forest girls are not easy to conquer and only Swabian lads have a real chance. This adaptation for recorder quintet brings out the melodies beautifully, the treble voice in particular will enjoy the
Bauerntanz (rustic dance).
A tempo of 90 crotchets/min. is suggested.
