Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe by Carl Maria von Weber — Lyrics
1. So viel Sternlein, als da wallen
an dem weiten Himmelszelt,
blickt ein Dreigestirn von allen
doch am freundlichsten zur Welt.
Milden Glanzes von den andern
siehst du dort den einen wandern
auf der klaren Sternenau,
in der Treue sanftem Blau.
2. Doch mit hellem Lichtgefunkel
siehst du dort den zweiten ziehn.
Wie er glänzt aus tiefem Dunkel,
wie er strahlt in lichtem Grün!

About Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe
Carl Maria von Weber's Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe is a secular German partsong for TTBB and SATB voices. The music opens with a sense of awe, quickly developing into a rich, homophonic texture. The composer skillfully employs a flowing melodic line supported by warm harmonies to create a comforting and uplifting atmosphere. The text, expressing profound faith, hope, and love, is vividly portrayed through the music's gentle unfolding and soaring melodic phrases. Weber's masterful setting allows the expressive German lyrics to shine, creating a piece that is both musically engaging and emotionally resonant.
