Komm, mein freund by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Hohelied 7, 1214
Komm mein Freund, laß uns auffs Feld hinaus gehen und auff den Dörffern bleiben. Daß wir frü auffstehn zu den Weinbergen, daß wir sehen, ob der Weinstock blühet und Augen gewonnen habe, ob die Granatöpffelbäum außgeschlagen sind. Da wil ich dir meine Brüste geben. Die Lilien geben den Ruch und für unser Thür sind allerley edele Früchte. Mein Freund ich habe dir beide heurige und fernige.
About Komm, mein freund
Melchior Franck was a prolific composer of sacred music in the early Baroque period. This motet, Komm, mein freund, is written for SSATTB choir and is set in German. The text is drawn from the Song of Solomon, a collection of love poems from the Old Testament. Franck’s setting captures the intimate and evocative language of the biblical passage, which speaks of love, desire, and the beauty of nature, using imagery of vineyards and blossoming trees to express deep affection. The rich vocal writing reflects the lushness of the text, making it a passionate and devotional work suitable for a discerning choir.
