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

Nehm' ich die Harfe,
Folgend dem Drange
Süßer Gefühle,
Denk' ich auch Dein.
Mädchen! und glaub', es
Können ja lange
Ohne der Harfe
Sänger nicht seyn.

Wähn' ich im Liede
Siedler und Klause,
Burg und Turniere
Wieder zu schau'n;
Prangst mit Barett und
Starrender Krause
Du am Balkone
Zwischen den Frau'n.

Preis' ich der Alpen
Friedliche Lüfte,
Hoch ob des Thales
Wildem Gebraus;
Füllst du als Senninn
Trillernd die Klüfte,
Lachst aus dem kleinen,
Hölzernen Haus. 

Sing' ich von schönen
Wasser-Jungfrauen
Einsam im Mondschein
Schwimmend im See;
Schwebst du bey ihnen
Unten im Blauen,
Streckst mir entgegen
Arme von Schnee.
 
Überall nahe
Weilest, du Liebe,
Mir in der Dichtung
Rosigem Land',
Ach, nur im Leben,
Strenge und trübe,
Trennt uns des Schicksal's
Feindliche Hand.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "überall" becomes "Ueberall", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueberall", so we use "Überall".

Note: Schubert only sketched an outline of the vocal part of this song, but did neither write a title nor underlay any text. Reinhard van Hoorickx identified the poem set by Schubert and suggested a completion of Schubert's fragment.

Composition:

    Set to music by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Sie in jedem Liede", D 896A (1827), published 1988 [ voice, piano ], fragment, completed by Reinhard van Hoorickx
