In der Ferne by Wilhelm Baumgartner — Lyrics
In der Ferne
Will ruhen unter den Bäumen hier,
die Vöglein hör' ich so gerne,
wie singet ihr so zum Herzen mir
von uns’rer Liebe was wisset ihr
in dieser weiten Ferne?

About In der Ferne
Wilhelm Baumgartner’s In der Ferne is a TTBB part-song for male voices, sung in German. The music opens with a gentle, flowing melody, a perfect evocation of the pastoral scene described in the text. The composer skilfully depicts the longing for a distant beloved, the sounds of birdsong and the beauty of nature all contributing to this wistful atmosphere. The text speaks of resting by trees and a stream, observing the flowers and listening to the birds, all while reflecting on love and distance. This is a song of tender sentiment, ideal for a concert programme seeking lyrical expression.
