Noel Adams and I spent a year working with the Berlin Philharmoniker* to produce this MeisterWerk based on his libretto "Deciduous Love." Good luck to anyone else who enters the contest.

However, a teenager did our song 10 years ago!! On YouTube!!!

A Meisterwerk by Sir Noel Adams and Sir David Snyder, titled Mein Baum Ist Uber Alles, or "My Tree is the Best"--sometimes referred to in the secular canon as "Deciduous Love." Ranked among the best loved new symphonic works among the Germanic people. Libretto by Sir Noel Adams, Music by Sir David.

MEIN BAUM IST UBER ALLES
(English Title: Deciduous Love)

By Sir Noel Adams and Sir David Snyder

[Verse]

Lost and lonely autumn leaves
My only friends tonight
We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere
Forgetting once we had a happy life

[Pre-chorus]

All alone, where cold winds blow
Don't we deserve a home?

[Chorus]

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
But where does it go
when summer is done?

[Verse]

I remember back in springtime
The new beginnings were good
Then summer shone and love grew strong as days got longer
I was invincible and self-assured

[Pre-chorus]

But seasons changed, blue turned grey
Then came autumn's blade

[Chorus]

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Leaves when summer is done

[Bridge]

Maybe one day
I'm hoping one day
Summer will never go away

Finale:

Mein Baum ist über alles
Mein Baum ist immer grün!
Mein Baum ist über alles
Das ist nicht Deciduous!!

Mein Baum ist über alles
Mein Baum ist immer grün!
Mein Baum ist über alles
Das ist nicht Deciduous!!

David,

Between bouts of laughing so much I hurt, I had to pinch myself! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This is INCREDIBLE...



You and your philharmonik are nothing short of astounding. I sat here enthralled, speechless, laughing, and TOTALLY, TOTALLY entertained.

In all honesty, I've never enjoyed anything I've written as much as I enjoyed listening to your work.

Brilliant!

Thank you for a truly unique and wonderful listening experience.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. With an imagination like yours, you must be quite dangerous at times!

P.P.S. Fancy someone else using this title!!! I started these lyrics back in 2012. Even then the title was old it seems!

Hello, David

Bravo, Maestro!
Not only a wonderful composer but also a wonderful conductor, and additionally a wonderful vocalist.
The orchestra is very nice.
The song is transient, expressing deeply the contents of Noel's lyrics.
I was so sorry that the tickets was sold out and I could not enter the venue.
But I'm very happy to listen to the live recording on the day.

Best regards.

I had a thought that perhaps a mouth organ solo and change of name to Philharmonika would be cute but I listened again & it doesn't need anything to add humour or depth.

Sir David, I see you have put forth such a work as to bring rise of ear to all the land. I do say; the likes of which my ear hath not heard before.

The two of you have bestowed upon us such lyric, rhythm and melody as to create in the fairer of us a weakness at the knees.

The origins of your soul have given birth to this most incredible of works. For that, I truly commend you.

Rock-eth on my good man.


Chad (Hope that makes it easier)
