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

Legt rote Rosen mir um meine Stirne, 
im Festgewande will ich von euch gehn, 
und stoßt die Fenster auf, dass die Gestirne 
mit heiterm Lächeln auf mein Lager sehn.

Und dann Musik! Und während Lieder schallen, 
von Hand zu Hand der Abschiedsbecher blinkt, 
mag mählich über mich der Vorhang fallen, 
wie Sommernacht auf reife Felder sinkt.
