In der Ferne by Robert Franz — 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
Robert Franz's In der Ferne is a secular German part-song for TTBB male voices. The text speaks of longing for a loved one far away, finding solace in nature while dreaming of their return. The composer evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation in the opening lines, before the yearning for connection becomes more explicit. The music reflects the gentle beauty of the natural setting and the heartfelt emotions of the poet, making it a suitable choice for a concert programme seeking to explore themes of love and distance through rich male choral harmony.
