Louise Reichardt (11 April 1779 – 17 November 1826)was a German choral conductor and composer of Lieder.
[For last year's comments on Alberto Ginastera click here.]
Reichardt’s husband to be, Friedrich Eschen, suddenly died before their wedding. Her second husband to be also died before their wedding. - Wikipedia
Fraulein Reichardt’s wedded bliss
Was twice delayed, the cause was this:
Just before the date intended
The would-be bridegrooms’ lives had ended.
Thus, other suitors were deterred
From taking steps to be the third.
Pardon me if I’m remiss
In writing something such as this,
To focus on her life, dear reader,
Rather than her charming Lieder.
Next time I’ll discuss achievements
Rather than her sad bereavements.
