Abendfeier by Conradin Kreutzer — Lyrics
Ich geh' noch abends spät vorbei
und schau' nach deinem Fenster frei,
da seh' ich dich beim kleinen Licht
mit engelsgleichem Angesicht.

About Abendfeier
Conradin Kreutzer was a prolific German composer and pianist. Abendfeier is a secular German partsong for TTBB male voices. The text expresses the yearning of a lover observing his beloved in quiet contemplation. He sees her at her window, her face angelic as she loosens her hair and prays. He asks her to pray for him, as she represents his entire heaven. The music would likely reflect the tender and intimate nature of the scene described.
