Altböhmisches Morgenlied by Josef Leopold Zvonař — Lyrics
1. Dem die Sternenheere bringen Ruhm und Ehre,
den all' die Engel droben
mit Harf' und Psalter loben,
auch mein Lied soll nicht schweigen
und soll dir Dank bezeigen,
da Nacht und Dunkel schwindet.
2. Deiner Kinder Vater,
aller Welt Berater,
Herr, unter deinem Hüten
wir schlummerten in Frieden

About Altböhmisches Morgenlied
Josef Leopold Zvonař's Altböhmisches Morgenlied is a setting for SATB choir, sung in German. This secular song, rooted in the Lieder tradition, opens with musical interplay between the voices, evoking the dawning of a new day. The text speaks of the glory of stars and angels, and the composer uses the voices to reflect the praise and devotion described. It moves from a sense of peace and rest into a call for active gratitude as day breaks. The music reflects this transition, encouraging the singers to express their faith not only through song but also through faithful living, a theme that resonates throughout the piece as it looks towards eternal faithfulness.
