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

Sibylla Agrippa
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG FIN FRE
Summus erit sub carne satus clarissimus atque Virginis
Et vere complevit viscera sanctum
Verbum consilio sine noxa spiritus almi,
Despectus multis tamen ille salutis amore
Arguet et nostra commissa piacula culpa,
Cuius honos constans et gloria certa manebit.

Note for line 2, word 3: this could be a typo for "complebit"

Sibylle Agrippa
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Il sera très grand, semé sous la chair, et très aimé,
Il emplira le ventre d'une vraie vierge,
Verbe saint, sans dommage, par l'action de l'esprit saint,
Pourtant méprisé par beaucoup, par amour du salut,
Il montrera les châtiments encourus par notre faute
Son honneur sera constant et sa gloire n'aura pas de fin.
