Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wild Rose / Heidenröslein (Goethe)
Ten seconds of googling show Silcher's arrangement for male voices, clearly the first tenor being identical to Werner's melody. IIRC, the popular "Loreley" tune is sometimes attributed to Silcher, on the sole grounds that we know of no older source. We had a thread on that.
