Es stund mir wol gedenckt by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Er stund mir wol gedenckt,
da ich war gefangen,
in lieb gar tieff versenckt,
in schmerzen gehangen,
Damals kondt ich nicht springen,
kein frölich liedlein singen,
die liebmich trutzt.
Nun aber bin ich frey
von det lebe stricken,
kein sorge wohnt mir bey,
mir wirdt noch gelucken:
Drumb thu ich jetzund springen,
mit lust disz Liedlein singen,

About Es stund mir wol gedenckt
Melchior Franck’s Es stund mir wol gedenckt is a secular German madrigal for SAB choir. The text speaks of a period of being deeply in love and suffering, during which the singer could not find joy or sing freely. Now, however, the singer has been released from the snares of love and freed from sorrow. In this new state of liberty, the singer expresses a desire to leap and sing joyfully, defying love and advising others to do the same, lest they too come to regret their trust in it. This is a vivacious, celebratory piece, contrasting past misery with present happiness, perfect for a choir looking to convey a wide range of emotions.
