by (Gottlob Ferdinand) Max(imilian) Gottfried von Schenkendorf (1783 - 1817) and sometimes misattributed to Karl Joseph Simrock (1802 - 1876)

Weihnachtsliedchen
 (Sung text for setting by M. Bruch)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zieht aus weiter Ferne
Ein Lied zu euch herein,
Das klingt vom Weihnachtssterne
Und hellem Lichterschein,
Das klinget wohl auch leise
Von Treue manchen Tag,
Die fremder Lust und Weise
Sich nimmer schicken mag.
Note: the Bruch score gives Simrock as the author; however, the text appears as the unnumbered prelude to three numbered Weihnachtslieder by Schenkendorf.

Composition:

    Set to music by Max Bruch (1838 - 1920), "Weihnachtsliedchen", subtitle: "Im Volkston", op. 60 (Neun Lieder für gemischten Chor) no. 8, published 1892 [ SATB chorus a cappella ], Magdeburg, Heinrichshofen's Verlag

Text Authorship:

  • by (Gottlob Ferdinand) Max(imilian) Gottfried von Schenkendorf (1783 - 1817), no title, written 1814/6?, appears in Weihnachtslieder
  • sometimes misattributed to Karl Joseph Simrock (1802 - 1876)
