Chamber Music
Minnelied for Tenor and Baritone
Minnelied for baritone and tenor was performed in the Paulanerkirche in Vienna on Saturday 14 December 2024.
Holder klingt der Vogelsang,
Wenn die Engelreine,
Die mein Jünglingsherz bezwang,
Wandelt durch die Haine.
Röter blühen Tal und Au,
Grüner wird der Wasen,
Wo die Finger meiner Frau
Maienblumen lasen.
Ohne sie ist Alles tot,
Welk sind Blüt und Kräuter,
Und kein Frühlingsabendrot
Dünkt mir schön und heiter
Traute, minnigliche Frau,
Wollest nimmer fliehen;
Daß mein Herz, gleich dieser Au,
Mög’ in Wonne blühen!
English Translation:
Love Song
Birdsong sounds more beautiful
When the pure angel
Who has won my young heart
Wanders through the woods.
Valley and meadow bloom redder,
The grass grows greener,
Where my lady’s fingers
Gathered Maytime flowers.
Without her all is dead,
Flowers and herbs are withered,
And the spring sunset
Seems neither radiant nor fair.
Gentle, charming lady,
Do not ever leave me;
That my heart, like this meadow,
Might bloom in bliss!
Collaborations, projects and much more in planning!
We need your help to develop our projects and bring
classical music to more people around the world!
