FREIBURGER LITERATURE (Satis Shroff): SCHWARZWALD SONG: Satis Shroff: European Culture: THE KAPPLER SONG (Satis Shroff) The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the Schauinsland School in Freiburg-Kappel. The invitees who came to congratulate were the mayor Gerda Stuchlik, the local mayor Hermann Dittmers and school counsellor Susanne Link. A colourful programme was staged by the school with a musical, a quiz and a photo exhibition. The parents’ band, under Wolfgang Rogge, played and sang quite a number of songs. Initially, there was a flute number—Hencry Purcell’s suite ‘Reigen,’ followed by words of greeting to the guests by Ms. Mann, the school’s headmistress. Then came another flute song: Uli Führe ‘Insist in the Wish.’ Mayor Stuchlik’s speech was followed by Mr. Dittmer’s one. After that it was the Children’s Musical ‘Das Vier-Farben-Land’ by Gina Ruck-Panquet with the kids of the Class III. Among other speakers were: Ms. Link, Mrs. Preiß and Ms. Mann.

SCHWARZWALD SONG: Satis Shroff This is about the lovely Schwarzwald hamlet of Freiburg-Kappel in which the lecturer, singer and artist Satis Shroff lives. It is about his men's choir, the people he meets in the beautiful Dreisam Valley, his social engagements, other vereins (associations), seasonal events, transition, the events staged by the vereins, Summer and Winter concerts, excursions to Hochdorf, Hartheim, Zunzingen, St. Peter, Buchenbach, Eguisheim (Alsace, France). Satis Shroff likes the motto of his choir 'Liederkranz,'which is just a German expression for a German society of men. The motto goes thus: In Freud und Leid zum Lied bereit. Dankeschön.
