Das Mädchen vom Lande by Max Reger — Lyrics
Du Mädchen vom Lande, wie bist du so schön!
So schön hab’ ich keines in Städten geseh’n.
Mein Herz ist, du Mädchen, von Liebe so voll;
wie steht dir die Farbe der Unschuld so wohl.
Wie fließt dir, du Mädchen, so ruhig das Blut;

About Das Mädchen vom Lande
This setting of a German folk poem for SATB choir by Max Reger captures the simple beauty of rural life. The text praises a country maiden, comparing her favorably to city dwellers and celebrating her innocence and charm. Reger’s music likely reflects the lyrical and heartfelt nature of the words, presenting a charming and accessible piece for secular choirs. The composer's skill in writing for vocal ensembles shines through in this delightful evocation of pastoral romance and admiration.
