Die Würzburger Glöckli, WoO VI/26, No. 9 by Max Reger — Lyrics
1. Und die Würzburger Glöckli
hab'n schönes Geläut,
und die Würzburger Maidli
sein kreuzbrave Leut.
La la la …
2. Dort drunten im Tale
gehts Bächli so trüb,
und i kann dirs nit hehle,
i hab di so lieb.
La la la …

About Die Würzburger Glöckli, WoO VI/26, No. 9
Max Reger composed this German secular partsong for SATB choir. The text, a playful, somewhat ironic ode to love, begins by praising the beautiful ringing of the Würzburg bells and the virtuous young women of the city. The song then shifts to a more personal reflection, acknowledging the bittersweet nature of love, where affection is mingled with a touch of deceit. The final verse expresses gratitude for past love and offers a gentle farewell, wishing the recipient well. Reger's setting captures the lighthearted yet poignant sentiments of the lyrics, making it a charming addition to any choral program.
