AUF DEM WASSER ZU SINGEN (1823) by FRANZ SCHUBERT

I loved to sing this when I was sailing; 

Now it comes to mind as I view the boats on Lake Michigan.

Hear it sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and also with Gerald Moore at the keyboard at:

Or, listen at another website also featuring the "Dream Team" of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore - with a series of lovely visuals throughout:
