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

Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Weine du nicht, o die ich innig liebe,
Daß ein trauriger Tag von dir mich scheidet!
Wenn nun wieder Hesperus dir dort lächelt,
Komm', ich Glücklicher, wieder!

Aber in dunkler Nacht ersteigst du Felsen,
Schwebst in täuschender dunkler Nacht auf Wassern!
Theilt' ich nur mit dir die Gefahr zu sterben;
Würd', ich Glückliche, weinen?

Composition:

    Set to music by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Selma und Selmar", D 286 (1815), published 1837
