Bey Nacht und auch bey Tage by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Bey nacht und auch bey tage,
mit seufftzendem hertzen ich stetts beklage,
mein gar heimliches leiden,
das mich anfichtet, weil ich dich musz meiden.
Nach dir hab ich verlangen,
mein freud ist mir ohn dich, feuns Lieb entgangen,
kan ich zu dir nicht kommen,
werd ich mich ängsten, bisz in Todt hierummen.

About Bey Nacht und auch bey Tage
The composer's Bey Nacht und auch bey Tage is a secular madrigal for SSB voices. The German text expresses profound longing and sorrow due to separation from a loved one. The singer laments their secret suffering, their joy lost without their beloved, and the fear that this separation will lead to their death. It speaks of fleeting moments of happiness found in love, contrasted with the misery of days and hours that deny its presence. The piece concludes with a plea for the beloved to grant their presence, suggesting that reunion is possible if their love wills it.
