Arnes sång by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger — Lyrics
1.Den makt som gav mig min lilla sång,
den gjorde livsgångens fröjd och smärta
till sol och regn för mitt unga hjärta,
där vårens sådd skall bli skörd en gång.
Vad än mig skedde, det bröt ej ned;
med sång det ledde till hjärtefred.
2.Den makt som gav mig min lilla sång
den gav mig frändskap med varje längtan
allt högre spänddes min egen trängtan

About Arnes sång
Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's Arnes sång is a setting of Swedish lyrics exploring the power of song and its ability to bring peace. The text reflects on how the gift of song provides both joy and sorrow, becoming a source of strength and solace through life's challenges. It speaks of finding companionship in longing, overcoming obstacles, and ultimately finding one's way home to inner peace. The final verse expresses a hope that song can also offer strength to others, spreading comfort and unity, and that singing together can lead to a profound sense of contentment. This work is composed for SATB choir, blending voices in a rich, secular Lieder tradition.
