Da ich mich nun bekeren wolt by Leonhard Lechner — Lyrics
Da ich mich nun bekeren wolt
gar bald wurd ich eim Frewlein holt
Thet mich nit lang besinnen
ich zog ir nach in schneller eyl
bey hundert und bey zweintzig meyl
ich dacht mir soll gelingen
zur erden ich gestürtzet wurd
weil ich zuvorhin het gemurt
ein Liedlein hört ich singen.

About Da ich mich nun bekeren wolt
Leonhard Lechner was a German composer of the late Renaissance. This SATTB setting of secular German Lieder offers a charming narrative. The text describes a man resolved to seek out a maiden, only to be struck down on his journey. He then hears a voice, identifying itself as Christ, explaining that the maiden is a gift from God, chosen for him. The composer captures this interplay of earthly pursuit and divine intervention with intricate part-writing, creating a lively and engaging musical setting for a skilled choir.
