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

Leise, rieselnder Quell, ihr wallenden, flispernden Pappeln,
Euer Schlummergeräusch wecket die Liebe nur auf.
Linderung sucht' ich bei euch, und sie zu vergessen, die Spröde;
Ach! und Blätter und Bach seufzen: [Elisa! mir zu.]1

Le jeune homme à la source
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Doucement, source qui coule ! Vous, peupliers qui se balancent et chuchotent,
Vos murmures endormis ne réveillent que l'amour.
Je cherchais l'apaisement près de vous et à l'oublier, la cruelle.
Ah, et les feuilles et le ruisseau soupirent, Louise, pour toi !
