Du sollt an mich gedenken by Ernst Rudorff — Lyrics
1. All mein Gedanken, die ich hab, die sind bei dir,
du auserwählter ein'ger Trost, bleib stet bei mir.
Du, du, du sollst an mich gedenken,
hätt ich aller Wünsch Gewalt,
von dir wollt´ ich nicht wanken.
2. Du auserwählter ein´ger Trost, gedenk daran,
mein Leib und Gut, das sollst du ganz zu eigen han.

About Du sollt an mich gedenken
Ernst Rudorff’s Du sollt an mich gedenken is a secular partsong for SATB choir, sung in German. The text expresses a deep, personal longing and devotion, speaking of unwavering commitment and the comfort found in a beloved presence. The lyrics paint a picture of intense affection, where thoughts are constantly occupied by the object of desire, and a plea is made to be remembered. This piece explores themes of faithfulness and the profound impact of connection, with the choir capturing the intensity of these emotions through rich, blended harmonies. Rudorff’s setting likely draws on the Romantic tradition of intimate, expressive German Lieder, adapted here for choral forces.
