Guter Rath, Op. 21, No. 3 by Hermann Goetz — Lyrics
Guter Rath
An einem Sommermorgen
da nimm den Wanderstab,
Es fallen deine Sorgen
von dir wie Nebel ab.
Des Himmels heit’re Bläue
lacht dir ins Herz hinein,
und schliesst, wie Gottes Treue
mit seinem Dach dich ein.

About Guter Rath, Op. 21, No. 3
Hermann Goetz's Guter Rath, Op. 21, No. 3, is a secular SATB part-song in German. The text evokes a peaceful summer morning, urging the listener to cast off worries and embrace the beauty of nature. The words paint a picture of a bright blue sky, blooming flowers, and a sense of profound contentment, as if love itself walks beside the traveler. This imagery fosters a feeling of home and belonging, inspiring the soul to soar like a lark. The rich four-part harmony would allow for a warm and expressive interpretation of this uplifting poem, making it a delightful addition to any choral programme.
