Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen, Op. 61f No. 1 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen
ein Glöcklein rein und silberhell.
Es fließt der Klang in allen Gauen,
ein himmlisch reiner Zauberquell.
Es sollen alle Glocken klingen
dir, o Maria gnadenvoll,
zu dir der Glockengruß soll dringen,
wie einst des Engels Gruß erscholl:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!

About Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen, Op. 61f No. 1
Max Reger's Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen is a sacred partsong for SATB choir. The German text evokes the sound of a pure, silver bell echoing through the landscape, a heavenly source of magic. This sound is presented as a call to devotion, a summons for all bells to ring out to Mary, carrying prayers to her and her son. The music captures the imagery of descending mists and the sacred resonance of the bell, urging listeners toward contemplation and the hope of divine grace. The composer was a prolific German composer, organist, pianist, conductor, and academic, known for his rich harmonic language and complex counterpoint.
