New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Vier Nachtlieder , opus 4

by Josef Eduard Ploner

1. Vor meinem Bette heller Mondenglanz
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vor meinem Bette heller Mondenglanz,
Als überdeckte Reif den Boden ganz.
Das Haupt erheb' ich, seh' zum stillen Mond,
Senk' es und denke meines Heimatlands.

2. Und wie manche Nacht...  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wie manche Nacht
bin ich aufgewacht,
lag so hell der Mond auf Bett und Schrein!
Sah ins Tal hinaus,
traumhell stand dein Haus,
tiefer träumend schlief ich wieder ein.
