Die Welt ist so schön by Carl Gottlieb Reissiger — Lyrics
Die Welt ist so schön, denn uns ward ja der Frühling,
die Blumen, die Freundschaft die himmlische Kunst.
Nur du vermagst Schmerzen des Lebens zu heilen,
und leitest der Ahnung des Höhern zu.

About Die Welt ist so schön
This German partsong celebrates the beauty of the world, attributing it to spring, flowers, friendship, and heavenly art. The lyrics express a profound yearning for solace from life's pains, seeking guidance towards higher things. The muse is invoked as a guide to a realm free from discord, where the soul is lifted by music and filled with a longing for the divine. Carl Gottlieb Reissiger's SATB setting captures this rich emotional landscape with a flowing musicality suitable for secular choral programmes.
