Abschied, Op. 33, No. 1 by Cyrill Kistler — Lyrics
1. Ich ziehe so lustig zum Tor hinaus,
als ob's ein Spaß nur wär;
das macht, es wallt fein Liebchens Bild
gar freundlich vor mir her;
da merk ich denn im Herzen bald,
ob dort oder hier;
ich gehe fort, ich kehre heim,
ich ziehe doch immer zu ihr.

About Abschied, Op. 33, No. 1
Cyrill Kistler's Abschied opens with an energetic and joyful mood, reflecting the text's theme of eagerly setting off to meet a loved one. The TTBB arrangement allows for a rich and full sound, with the lower voices providing a robust foundation for the melodies. The music embodies a sense of lighthearted adventure, as the singer declares that no hardship or weather can deter him on his journey, driven by the image of his beloved. The forward momentum of the vocal lines and the harmonic language create a feeling of optimistic anticipation, making this a spirited and engaging piece for male choirs.
