Die mir mein hertz mit freud erfüllt by Leonhard Lechner — Lyrics
Die mir mein hertz mit freud erfüllt,
und die ich lieb allein,
durchauß unter den Frauenbild,
ist also hübsch und fein.
trus die ihr gleich möcht sein.
Zu sampt der schön und liebes zier,
daran ihr gar nichts brist,
lebt auch ein freundlich hertz in ir,
ohn allen falsch und list,
welschs ir das löblichst ist.

About Die mir mein hertz mit freud erfüllt
A joyful celebration of love, this German secular madrigal for SSAT voices expresses deep affection for a beloved woman. Leonhard Lechner's setting captures the text's sentiment, praising her beauty and virtuous heart. The lyrics describe her as unparalleled among women, possessing both charm and sincerity, free from deceit. The composer emphasizes her kindness as the reason for his unwavering devotion, suggesting that beauty without such inner grace is akin to a mere painted image. This piece would be fitting for occasions seeking to convey sincere admiration and romantic sentiment, suitable for mixed-voice choirs seeking to explore Renaissance part-music with heartfelt expression.
