Ihr Büder, lieben Brüder mein by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
Ihr Brüder, lieben Brüder mein,
laßt uns heut all fein lustig sein,
Lirili, lirili, lirililirum,
mit Trinken, Musiziern,
mit Springen, Jubiliern,
lirili, lirili, lirilirum.
Hab'n wir doch auserles'nen Wein,
den bring ich dir, mein Brüderlein,
Liriri, lirili, lirilirilirum.
Wie mir's ist g'schenket ein,
soll dir's auch wieder sein.
Lirili, lirili, lirilirilirum.
(Alternative version of first two verses:
Hab'n wir doch auserles'nes Bier,
mein Brüderlein, dass bring ich dir,
lirili…)

About Ihr Büder, lieben Brüder mein
Johann Hermann Schein’s Ihr Büder, lieben Brüder mein is a secular German part-song, a vibrant expression of Renaissance spirit. The composer crafts a joyous, convivial atmosphere through the energetic interplay of five voices (SSATB). The text, in German, urges brothers to be merry, celebrating friendship and the pleasures of fine wine or beer. The music reflects this uninhibited mood with its lively rhythms and spirited vocal lines, including the playful, onomatopoeic refrains. It’s a piece that calls for a spirited performance, capturing the essence of communal celebration and the fleeting joy of the moment.
