Herbstlied: Des Sommers Fäden weben by Johannes Dürrner — Lyrics
Des Sommers Fäden weben
durchs Feld wie weißer Duft,
die muntern Schwalben schweben
in hoher, blauer Luft.
Sie üben die Flügel
zur fröhlichen Reise,

About Herbstlied: Des Sommers Fäden weben
Johannes Dürrner's Herbstlied: Des Sommers Fäden weben is a secular TTBB partsong in German. The text evokes the late summer landscape, with threads of summer like white mist woven through the fields and swallows soaring in the blue air. These birds are practicing their wings for a joyful journey, as a gentle breeze whispers that winter is drawing near. The composer captures this bittersweet mood, a poignant reflection on the changing seasons and the imminent arrival of winter, contrasting the lingering beauty of summer with the approaching chill. It is a lyrical meditation on nature's cycle, beautifully rendered for male voices.
