Good German Music

**Vuk** · 09-21-2007, 18:55

My professor has suggested that the class find some good (preferably slow) German music that we can listen too in order to aid our listening comprehension. I was wondering if someone could post some good links to German music on YouTube. Please, no rapp, jazz, funk, techno, etc. :P That is not the type of music I would like to listen too. :P

Thanks,
Vuk

Here you go.

Thanks.
That was a little low-class. :P (no offence

) Do you know of any classical German music? Maybe Christmas songs?

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring? Holy Night? Silent Night? O Come All You Faithfull? I think it would be easier to follow along to the words if it was a little slower.

Thanks,
Vuk

P.S. I thought the German language would be ill suited to music, but it is actually pretty good. :P

I've heard before that some German teachers use this to teach listening skills.

Beethoven's An Die Ferne Geliebte cycle.

Especially Fritz Wunderlich singing.

Something to relax to.

And then there's all the classical German music, but that's mostly without lyrics. Mozart wrote a few operas in German though, too bad you can't hear what they're singing.
