Es hat ein Schwab by Ivo de Vento — Lyrics
ES het ein Schwab ein töchterlein,/
Annelein butz mirs liecht/
es het ein Schwab ein töchterlein/
es wolt nit lenger meidlein seyn/
Annelein butz mirs liecht/
butz mirs wol und seuberlich/
krumb und krat ist ungeleich/
Anne lein butz mirs liecht.

About Es hat ein Schwab
This German Lieder, Es hat ein Schwab, is a delightful secular piece from the Renaissance. Composed by Ivo de Vento, it is written for SAB choir. The text tells a lighthearted and somewhat cheeky story of a young maiden who is eager to be married. She calls for someone to 'clean' her, using rather suggestive imagery, and expresses her desire for a husband to drive away her 'tickle'. The music, while secular, likely captures the playful and spirited nature of the lyrics, making it a charming selection for a choir looking for a characterful piece with a humorous narrative.
