Es wollt ein Fraw zum Weine gahn by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
1. Es wollt ein Fraw zum Weine gahn, Herori matori,
Sie wollt den Man nit mit ir lahn,
Guretsch, guretsch, Guritzi maretsch, Herori matori.
2. Wolstu mich denn nit zechen lahn, Herori matori,
So wolt ich zu einr andern gahn,

About Es wollt ein Fraw zum Weine gahn
Ludwig Senfl's Es wollt ein Fraw zum Weine gahn is a secular German Lieder for SATB choir. The text paints a humorous domestic scene where a wife asserts her independence, threatening to go to the wine alone if her husband won't accompany her. This playful narrative, set to Senfl's characteristic melodic grace, makes it a charming choice for choirs looking to explore Renaissance part-music. The repetitive, almost incantatory refrain adds a delightful, memorable quality to the piece, suitable for a lighthearted concert programme or a moment of musical merriment.
