Lieber Freistaedtler, lieber Gaulimauli by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Lyrics
Lieber Freistädtler, lieber Gaulimauli,
Lieber Stachelschwein, wo gehn sie hin, wo gehn Sie hin, wo gehn Sie hin?
Etwa zum Finto oder zum Scultetti?
Ha, wohin, wohin?
Zum Scultetti, zum Finto, zum Finto, zum Scultetti?

About Lieber Freistaedtler, lieber Gaulimauli
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Lieber Freistaedtler, lieber Gaulimauli is a delightful secular canon for four equal voices in German. Composed in the classical tradition, this work showcases Mozart's mastery of contrapuntal writing, weaving intricate melodic lines into a unified whole. The text itself is a playful, almost conversational exchange, teasingly questioning where individuals are going and who they might be meeting. The humour and light-heartedness of the lyrics are perfectly mirrored in the energetic and engaging musical setting, making it a charming addition to any choral programme seeking a touch of wit and brilliant part-writing.
