Da trunken sie die liebe lange nacht,
bis daß der lichte morgen anbrach,
der helle lichte morgen.

About Da Trunken Sie
Wolff Heintz's Da Trunken Sie is a four-part German secular chanson for ATTB. The music immediately establishes a convivial and lively mood, reflecting the text's celebration of a night of revelry, singing, and dancing, free from all worries. The voices interact with a pleasing lightness, often moving in homophony to drive the text forward, but also engaging in brief moments of imitative play. The setting captures the carefree spirit of the morning after a long, enjoyable night, as the text describes the participants singing and leaping with joy until dawn breaks.
