First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.This folk-song setting from Op. 300 presents a broad, easily traced melody above an accompaniment that becomes more flowing on its return. The first setting moves mainly in quarter-note accompaniment, alternating bass notes with intervals and occasional fuller chords. Repeated high melody notes and short descending turns give the tune a dignified, communal character. In the second setting, eighth-note accompaniment animates the same melodic outline. The upper line remains recognizable as the harmony moves more continuously beneath it, ending in a brief, settled cadence. Interesting fact: The score identifies the tune with the German words “Wir hatten gebauet ein stattliches Haus”—“We had built a stately house.”
