Guten Morgen|Die Vier Tageszeiten by Karel František Rafael — Lyrics
1. Aus des Ostens gold'nem Tor
eingehüllt in Purpurfeuer
tritt Aurora still hervor
lüftend ihren Wolkenschleier,
und der junge Tag erwacht
und die Morgenröte lacht
strahlend, strahlend guten Morgen.
2. Zu des Äthers lichten Flor
wallen süße Blumendüfte,
und der zarten Sänger Chor
füllt die heitern Morgenlüfte,
unbemerkt im dunkeln Hain
rauscht die Quelle klar und rein,
murmelnd, murmelnd guten Morgen.

About Guten Morgen|Die Vier Tageszeiten
Karel František Rafael's Guten Morgen is a secular TTBB part-song setting a German text. Part of a larger work titled Die Vier Tageszeiten (The Four Times of Day), this movement celebrates the morning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of dawn breaking, with Aurora emerging from her golden gate, the air filled with the scent of flowers, and the cheerful sounds of nature awakening. The music would likely reflect this imagery with bright, energetic textures, capturing the joyous spirit of a new day dawning and the natural world coming to life. It offers a delightful opportunity for a male choir to explore descriptive and evocative text painting.
