Musical settings (art songs, Lieder, mélodies, (etc.), choral pieces, and other vocal works set to this text), listed by composer (not necessarily exhaustive):
- by Frederic Rzewski (1938 - 2021), "Two Rilke Songs" [ soprano and piano ], The Songs are written in a twelve-tone idiom of particular expressivity. Rzewski's music, although not easily accessible, is definitely to be reckoned with. In the first song particularly, there were moments of real beauty.
