Tips
For fifty years, monastery brother Medardus kept this secret to himself:
His love for a young woman who is sentenced to death as a witch.
She dies in the fire with a song on her lips that the monk cannot forget for the rest of his life. The “Witch Song” by Ernst vom Wildenbruch (lyrics) and Max von Schillings (music) is probably the most moving melodrama composition ever created.
