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

Willkommen, o silberner Mond,
Schöner, stiller Gefährte der Nacht!
Du entfliehst? Eile nicht, bleib, Gedankenfreund!
Sehet, er bleibt, das Gewölk wallte nur hin.

Des Mayes Erwachen ist nur
Schöner noch wie die Sommernacht,
Wenn ihm Thau, hell wie Licht, aus der Locke träuft,
Und zu dem Hügel herauf röthlich er kommt.

Ihr Edleren, ach es bewächst
Eure Maale schon ernstes Moos!
O, wie war glücklich ich, als ich noch mit euch
Sahe sich röthen den Tag, schimmern die Nacht.

Composition:

    Set to music by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Die frühen Gräber", D 290 (1815), published 1837
