Dû bist mîn

Mick Swithinbank sets a medieval German lyric of profound devotion. The anonymous poet declares an unbreakable bond: "You are mine, I am yours." The beloved is sealed within the singer's heart, the key lost, ensuring they will remain there forever. This intimate declaration is conveyed in a simple, direct unison setting, making the emotional core of the text powerfully accessible. The German language adds a layer of historical authenticity to this expression of unwavering love and commitment, suitable for secular programming.
