Ey, wie so gar freundlich lieblich by Thomas Mancinus — Lyrics
Ei, wie so gar freundlich,
lieblich erzeigst du dich Herzlieb gen mir,
dass mich erfreut ganz inniglich
und will mein Herz stets sein bei dir.
Denn wo ich sonst bei Leuten bin,
da hat's kein Sinn.
Allein bei dir ich fröhlich bin.
Glaub es, mein Lieb und wiss', fürwahr,
dass mir desgleichen ist also,
wenn ich bei dir nicht bin immerdar,
so wird mein Herz doch nimmer froh

About Ey, wie so gar freundlich lieblich
Thomas Mancinus’s Ey, wie so gar freundlich lieblich is a delightful secular German madrigal for SATTB choir. The piece opens with imitative textures and lively interplay between the voices, painting a vivid picture of the text’s affectionate sentiments. The composer captures the joyous and intimate mood of the words, which speak of deep affection and the pleasure found in the beloved’s company. Mancinus uses the distinct vocal lines to convey a sense of yearning and devotion, making this a charming and expressive work for chamber choirs. The music flows with a natural grace, reflecting the sincerity of the heartfelt message.
