Lieb ist der grund by Heinrich Finck — Lyrics
Lieb ist der grund
davon dann kumpt lust und begir
wer kan dar für
wo lieb sein syn
thut wenden hin
da gets von stat und hilfft
kein rath der werd
die lieb will sein
gantz unverfyert
Liebs thut all ding
magt das gering
gehe wie es gehe
kein mühe thut wehe
die durch lieb gscheicht
bin ich bericht

About Lieb ist der grund
Heinrich Finck was a significant composer of German Lieder during the Renaissance. Lieb ist der grund is a fine example of his secular part-music for SATB choir. The text explores the all-consuming nature of love, its power to inspire both joy and suffering, and its ability to overcome all obstacles. Finck's setting captures the fervent emotion of the words, with each voice part contributing to a rich and intricate musical fabric. This is a challenging but rewarding piece for an accomplished choir seeking to explore the expressive possibilities of Renaissance secular song. The German text offers a direct and passionate meditation on the central themes of love and desire.
