Strauss's 'Allerseelen', or 'All Souls' Day', is a curious song which has been interpreted in a number of ways. Some consider it to be a commemoration and recollection of a loved one who has died, whereas others consider it to be a more supernatural direct encounter with a deceased lover. In any case, the song is haunting and beautiful, with an ethereal melodic line, one of Strauss's most highly regarded lieder.
