3 Liederen op teksten van Gezelle by Joachim Kelecom — Lyrics
Wie, wie heeft toch, laat mij weten,
in den hoogen hemel, dáár,
u doen hangen zonder keten,
wonder' zilvere lampe klaar?
Wie, wie heeft het vat gesmeden,
en den krans erom geplooid,
waar gij al de lieflijkheden
van uw lekend licht uit strooit?
Koele lichtstroom, die alomme
't mos beplekt en 't hoofdtje zwicht,

About 3 Liederen op teksten van Gezelle
This collection of three songs by Joachim Kelecom sets secular Dutch texts, suitable for a choir seeking evocative Lieder. The SSAA voicing offers rich harmonic possibilities for exploring the imagery of the poetry. The first song marvels at a silver lamp hanging in the heavens, questioning its maker and its purpose. It moves on to describe a lamp whose vessel and wreath are forged to scatter the delights of its secular light. Further songs describe a cool stream of light, and a silver boat carrying pearls and ivory across the clouds, an inestimable jewel that feeds the nations. The final text sings of sleep, a precious balm, more valuable than any earthly treasure.
