Abstract: The allegorical poem, "Das Lied von der Glocke," by Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) serves as the inspiration - for the dramatic cantata setting, Opus 45, by Max Christian Friedrich Bruch (1838-1920), composed for four soloists, chorus, organ, and orchestra in 1879. In ten eight-line strophes Schiller indicates, through instructions given by a master Bell Maker, the proper steps for casting a bell. Allegorically, these steps parallel the stages of human life. Through motivic development, key relationships, and formal structure, Bruch depicts the essence of this philosophically optimistic text.
