About This Song
About "Trinklied aus dem XIV Jahrhundert, D. 847" by The Bangalore Men
A fourteenth-century drinking song, Schubert's 'Trinklied' is a raucous toast to wine and camaraderie. The Bangalore Men bring robust energy to this part-song, their voices clinking like goblets in a tavern. The tension is between the jovial surface and the fleeting nature of pleasure—a carpe diem spirit with a shadow of mortality.
