Gantz sehr betrübt by Leonhard Lechner — Lyrics
Gantz sehr betrübt ist mir mein hertz
und leide darumb grossen schmertz
Ach/ Ach mit trawrigem sin
scheid ich hertz lieb jetz von hin.
2.
Scheiden von lieb und das thut wehe
Ach/ Ach/ und ach und immer wehe
Ach/ Ach wie sehnlichs leiden
Bringt mir das schwere scheiden.

About Gantz sehr betrübt
Leonhard Lechner was a significant German composer of the late Renaissance. This secular German song, Gantz sehr betrübt, is typical of the madrigal tradition, exploring emotional depth through intricate vocal writing. Scored for SAT voices, the music beautifully captures the poignant text, which speaks of heartbreak and the sorrow of parting. The lyrics express a deep sense of grief and pain associated with separation from a loved one, conveying the anguish of a young heart experiencing such a loss. Lechner's setting, with its direct and heartfelt melody, underscores the text's emotional weight, making it a moving exploration of love and farewell.
