Ein Maidlein sagt mir freundlich zu by Malchinger — Lyrics
Text in Forster's edition:
1. Ein Maidlein sagt mir freundlich zu,
wie sie mich liebt im Herzen.
Ich sich sie nit dergleichen tun,
allein mit mir zu scherzen.
Hat wohl sein Fug brauns Maidlein klug,
merk was ich dich bitt,
Ju ju, Ju ju, Ju ju,
feins Maidlein murr nur nit.
2. Nimm auf zu gut, was ich dir sag,
tu dich daran nicht kehren!

About Ein Maidlein sagt mir freundlich zu
This delightful German Lieder setting by Malchinger is ideal for a secular choir seeking a charming and light-hearted piece. Scored for SATB voices, the music brings to life a text where the singer playfully addresses a maiden, initially unsure if her kind words are genuine affection or mere jest. He then urges her to accept his sincere love and fidelity, acknowledging his own shortcomings in spending time with her but pleading for her grace and favour. The composer's skill is evident in crafting a setting that captures the nuanced emotions of the text, from playful teasing to earnest declaration, making it a pleasing addition to any concert program.
