Der Morgen by Friedrich Silcher — Lyrics
Ein Morgenschimmer glüht,
die Nacht ist schon vergangen,
mit weiß und roten Wangen
die Röslein sind erblüht.
Und wie die Sonne lacht,
will auch der Wald sich zeigen,
da funkelt von den Zweigen
grüngolden seine Pracht.
Hört, wie es fröhlich schallt;
die Lerche schwingt nach oben,

About Der Morgen
Friedrich Silcher paints a vivid picture of dawn breaking in this charming secular part-song. The German text describes the first light of morning, the blooming of roses, and the sun's rays illuminating the forest. As the day begins, the lark rises, its song joining the cheerful chorus of nature. The composer encourages the singer to add their own voice to this joyful symphony. Silcher's setting is available for various combinations of voices, including SA, SSAA, and TTBB, making it a flexible choice for mixed or same-sex choirs looking to capture the beauty and exuberance of a new day.
