Ich stund an einem Morgen (discantus) by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
About Ich stund an einem Morgen (discantus)
Ludwig Senfl's Ich stund an einem Morgen is a beautiful example of secular German Lieder from the Renaissance. This SATB setting captures the poignant lament of a maiden who overhears her beloved speaking of departure. The text, sung in German, evokes a tender scene of farewell and heartfelt pleas, with the maiden expressing her deep sorrow and asking for reassurance. Senfl's music would have been performed in courtly or domestic settings, bringing to life the emotional narrative of love and separation with intricate vocal interplay.
