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

by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)

Es mahnt der Wald, es ruft der Strom:
"Du liebes Bübchen zu uns komm!"
Der Knabe kommt und staunend weilt,
Und ist von jedem Schmerz geheilt.

Aus Büschen flötet Wachtelschlag,
Mit irren Farben spielt der Tag;
Auf Blümchen roth, auf Blümchen blau
Erglänzt des Himmels feuchter Thau.

Ins frische Gras legt er sich hin:
Läßt über sich die Wolken zieh'n -
An seine Mutter angeschmiegt,
Hat ihn der Traumgott eingewiegt.

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.
