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

Drei Duettinen für Mezzosopran oder Tenor und Alt mit Begleitung des Pianoforte , opus 39

by Carl Friedrich Johann Girschner (1794 - 1860)

1. Wohl heute noch  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Er:
Wohl heute noch und morgen
bleib' ich so gern bei dir,
dann treiben mich die Sorgen,
die bösen, fort von hier!

Sie: 
Wann kommst du aber wieder,
Herzallerliebster mein,
und brichst die roten Rosen
und trinkst den kühlen Wein?

Er:
Wann's schneiet rote Rosen,
wann's regnet kühlen Wein,
dann will ich mit dir kosen,
dann werd' ich bei dir sein!

Sie:
Wohl schneit es rote Rosen,
wohl regnet's kühlen Wein,
wenn zwei Herzallerliebste
so treu beisammen sein.1

Beide:
Es schneiet rote Rosen
und regnet kühlen Wein,
wenn zwei Herzallerliebste
so treu beisammen sein.

2. Dein Bildniss wunderselig  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein Bildnis wunderselig
Hab ich im Herzensgrund,
Das sieht so [frisch]1 und fröhlich
Mich an zu jeder Stund'.

Mein Herz still in sich singet
Ein altes schönes Lied,
Das [in die Luft sich schwinget]2
Und [zu dir eilig]3 zieht.
