Der Hund mir vor dem Licht umbgaht by Anonymous — Lyrics
Der Hund mir vor dem Licht umbgaht,
früh und auch spat
hab ich kein Ruh,
wie ich ihm tu.
Das richtet alls der Klaffer zu.
Tu, was ich wöll, so hat er mich,
viel härter Stich
gibt er mir gschwind

About Der Hund mir vor dem Licht umbgaht
This anonymous German Lieder for ATTB voices is a vivid secular song from the Renaissance. The text humorously laments the singer's woes with a bothersome dog, wishing for its blindness, while offering a brief hope for a happier time and the capture of a mouse by their cat. It could be a delightful and engaging choice for a concert programme, offering a moment of light-hearted drama and showcasing the ensemble's ability to interpret witty, colloquial lyrics. The four-part texture provides rich harmonic possibilities, suitable for choirs looking to explore the German secular song tradition.
