Dein freuntlichs gesicht by Heinrich Finck — Lyrics
Dein freuntlichs gesicht mich uberwindt
von gantzen meinem hertzen
Als mein gemüet ist mir entzündt
mich lust mit dirz schertzen
gefiel es dir
als mir was freud
wolt ich nur haben
so ich wurd gewert
von dir schon werd
mein mund solt des nit sagen.
Glaub mir hertz lieb was ich dich sag
die sach solt sein verborgen.
Gib dich darein wend mir mein klag
und biß an alle sorgen

About Dein freuntlichs gesicht
Heinrich Finck's charming Lieder Dein freuntlichs gesicht is a four-part secular song for SATB choir. Set in German, it expresses tender sentiments of affection and devotion, with the singer overcome by the beloved's friendly countenance. The text speaks of a heart ignited by love, a longing for shared joy, and a commitment to keeping the feelings hidden. The singer implores the beloved to reciprocate their feelings, promising unwavering loyalty and protection from earthly sorrow. This piece would suit a concert programme looking for engaging Renaissance part-music, perhaps for a celebratory or romantic occasion.
