Der Sänger, Op. 145 No. 3 by Robert Schumann — Lyrics
Noch singt den Widerhalllen
der Knabe sein Gefühl;
die Elfe hat Gefallen
am jugendlichen Spiel.
Es glänzen seine Lieder,
wie Blumen rings um ihn,
sie geh'n mit ihm wie Brüder
durch stille Haine hin.

About Der Sänger, Op. 145 No. 3
Robert Schumann's Der Sänger, Op. 145 No. 3, is a captivating German part-song for SATB choir. This secular work embodies the Romantic spirit, translating the joy and expressiveness of a youthful singer into music. The text paints a vivid picture of a boy whose songs are as beautiful as flowers, accompanying him through peaceful woods. He then brings his art to grander occasions, performing at festivals and royal banquets, where his music enchants all who hear it. The women of the court crown him with flowers, moved by his performance, and his own emotions are visibly stirred. Schumann masterfully captures this narrative arc, creating a piece that is both dramatic and deeply personal, a celebration of the power of song.
