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

Namensfeier für Franz Michael...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Erhabner! Erhabner!
Verehrter Freund der Jugend!
Zu deines Festes Feyer
Deiner Weisheit, deiner Tugend
Nimm unsrer Herzen Huldigung.

Ja, wenn der Waisen Bitten frommen,
Die heut' für dich zum Himmel glühn,
Muß oft der frohe Tag noch kommen,
Lang deines Lebens Freuden blühn.

Germanien, in fernen Zonen
Nennen Waisen Vater dich,
Dein Haupt umglänzen Bürgerkronen,
Und gute Fürsten lieben dich.

Ein Hochgefühl und reine Freude
Hält immer uns mit dir vereint,
Ein lorbeerreicher Nestor scheide
Einst spät von uns und allbeweint.

Célébration de la fête de Franz Michael Vierthalter
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Éminence ! Éminence !
Cher ami de la jeunesse !
Pour la célébration de ta fête
de ta sagesse, ta vertu
Accepte l'hommage de nos cœurs.

Oui, si les prières des orphelins sont satisfaites,
Ces prières qui aujourd'hui brûlent pour toi jusqu'au ciel,
Souvent ce jour heureux reviendra.
Que les joies de ta vie fleurissent longtemps.

Les Germains, dans les régions éloignées,
T'appellent le père des orphelins,
Ta tête est couronnée ceinte de couronnes civiles,
Et les bons princes t'aiment.

Qu'un noble sentiment et une joie pure
Toujours nous gardent unis avec toi.
Que ce Nestor, couronné de lauriers, nous quitte
Le plus tard possible et pleuré par tous.
