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

Alle Sternelein, die am Himmel steh'n,
sollen meinem Kind zu Diensten geh'n;
alle Blümlein, die in Düften sprießen,
sollen neigend mir mein Kind begrüßen,
alle Vöglein, die in den Lüften schwingen,
sollen mir mein Kind zur Ruhe singen,
und die Engel, die in Himmelsweiten
goldgesäumte Flügel breiten,
sollen dich behutsam, fein behutsam
auf den Weg zum lieben, lieben Gott geleiten.
