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

Sommernacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Im Garten rauscht die Sommernacht,
durchs Fenster drängt es schwer,
mit weiten Augen lausch' ich still,
und alles schweigt umher.

Und alles schläft, ein Sehnen nur
weht heimlich ein und aus,
da fängt mein Herz zu weinen an
und wollt es wär zu Haus.

Nit d'estiu
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Al jardí, la nit d’estiu mormola,
empeny fort per la finestra,
amb els ulls ben oberts escolto en silenci
i tot calla a l’entorn.

I tot dorm, només un anhel
alena secretament dins i fora,
llavors el meu cor comença a plorar
i voldria ser a casa.
