Grade 3 - Duration: 07:56

This work is dedicated to the miners, who often had to perform their duties under the most difficult conditions, frequently risking their
lives. Many lost their lives in accidents throughout history, and many families lost their fathers.
A Miner‘s Tale describes the beginning of a shift, marked by the signal on the wooden board. The foreman and the miners begin their arduous
work underground. Suddenly, danger strikes, leading to a terrible collapse. Trapped beneath the rubble, the miners are overwhelmed by fear,
despair, and loneliness. Only their camaraderie and the memory of their loved ones keep them going. In the darkest moment, in the dim
light of their fading mining lamp, a vision of Saint Barbara – the patron saint of miners – appears before them...
Shortly thereafter, they hear the sound of approaching rescue. Overcome with joy and relief, they begin to hum the „Steigerlied“ in
exhaustion.
