The composition is based on a German poem that is still popular in Japan today. In Germany, however, both the poem and its author have been completely forgotten. Carl Busse (1872 - 1918) was a German writer, literary critic and co-editor of the "Deutsches Wochenblatt". His poem "Über den Bergen" must have been published around 1900, as there are several composers who set this poem to music at the time. In Japan, "Over the Mountains (山のあなた, Yama no Anata) became known through the anthology Kaichō on by Ueda Bin from 1905. It was republished in 2010, reviving interest in this poem.
