Es rieseln und rauschen die Quellen by Carl August Kern — Lyrics
Es rieseln und rauschen die Quellen,
welch' wunderbar Beben und Schwellen,
welch Flüstern und Sehnen und Bangen,
welch' heimlich süßes Verlangen!
Wohin, wohin doch, ihr lichten Wellen?
Durch die Welt, durch die Welt, so weit und groß,
zur süßen Ruh' in des Meeres Schoß!

About Es rieseln und rauschen die Quellen
Carl August Kern's Es rieseln und rauschen die Quellen is a German secular partsong for SATB choir. The text evokes the gentle flow of springs and streams, translating their whispers and yearnings into a reflection of human longing. This setting captures the natural imagery and the emotional ebb and flow of the lyrics, creating a sense of wonder and gentle motion. The music moves from the natural world to the spiritual, with the final destination shifting from the sea's embrace to the solace found in divine love. It is a reflective piece that uses the voices to paint a picture of both the external landscape and the internal emotional journey.
