Strauss' Four Last Songs are amongst the most sublime works in the vocal repertoire. Composed in the sunset of the composer's life, they exhibit calm, completeness and resignation.

Beim Schlafengehen (When Falling Asleep) is the third of the four songs whose lyrics speak of fatigue, rest and the soul taking on wings.

Randy Malmstrom has beautifully arranged this work of about 6 minutes in length for advanced performers.
