Scholz’s farewell: These three songs shape his last tap!

Scholz’s farewell: These three songs shape his last tap!

Osnabrück, Deutschland - On Monday, Olaf Scholz is ceremoniously adolts to the Bundeswehr as part of a large tap. This event marks its farewell as a Chancellor and is musically accompanied by three special pieces that bear both personal and significant emotional content. The selection of the songs that Scholz wanted for this occasion reflects a diverse musical character, without showing a direct connection to its north German homeland, as the Ostsee-Zeitung

Scholz’s first choice is the play “In My Life” by the Beatles, which was published in 1965 on the album “Rubber Soul”. John Lennon wrote the song as a reflection on his childhood and the return to his roots. This choice could be interpreted as a declaration of love to his wife Britta Ernst, who could find a personal touch in the election. In addition, producer George Martin added an atmospheric electric piano solo that makes the original piece extraordinary.

The musical diversity

Another piece that Scholz has selected is the extract from the second Brandenburg concert by Johann Sebastian Bach. This work is known for its trumpet dominance and the large number of solo instruments. The decision for this classic piece could be seen as a thank you to his Potsdam constituency as well as as a sign of optimism, such as the RP online writes.

The third piece, "Respect", originally comes from Otis Redding, but became a feminist hymn and the voice of the civil rights movement due to the powerful version of Aretha Franklin. Scholz ’choice could allude to respect in politics or his own performance. With her version, Franklin ended the tradition of interpreting the message of the original piece as a requirement for respect and positioning itself.

Scholz, in contrast to some of his predecessors, such as Gerhard Schröder, who withdrew from the political stage in 2005 with other, more provocative music withdraws. Scholz ’gentle musical selection gives hope for a harmonious farewell that is in line with his political attitude.

In summary, it can be said that Olaf Scholz not only grants a personal review with this tap, but also beats a bridge in his political period, shaped by musical diversity and emotional nuances.
