flower, forget me is a composition by the renowned American composer David Lang. This piece was commissioned by Konzerthaus Dortmund specifically for baritone Benjamin Appl to complement Schubert's famous song cycle Die schöne Müllerin. The work premiered on March 13, 2022, in Dortmund, featuring Benjamin Appl as the soloist and Lise de la Salle on piano.
Lang's composition is based on one of Wilhelm Müller's poems that Schubert did not set to music, along with fragments from other flower-related Schubert texts. This creates a profound exploration of themes such as love and transience. The music is characterized by its deep tone, requiring a baritone capable of navigating the lower registers with sensitivity and precision.
