1. Der Schildwache Nachtlied; 2. Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht?;

3. Der Tambourgsell; 4. Das irdische Leben; 5. Verlorne Muh;6. Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt; 7. Urlicht

1. Der Schildwache Nachtlied The sentinels nightsong"Ich kann und mag nicht frhlich sein;Wenn alle Leute schlafen,So mu ich wachen,Mu traurig sein."

"Ach Knabe, du sollst nicht traurig sein,Will deiner warten,Im Rosengarten,Im grnen Klee."

"Zum grnen Klee, da komm ich nicht,zum WaffengartenVoll HellepartenBin ich gestellt."

"Stehst du im Feld, so helf dir Gott,An Gottes SegenIst alles gelegen,Wer's glauben tut."

"Wer's glauben tut, ist weit davon,Er ist ein Knig,Er ist ein Kaiser,Er fhrt den Krieg."

Halt! Wer da? Rund! Bleib' mir vom Leib!

Wer sang es hier? Wer sang zur Stund'?Verlorne FeldwachtSang es um Mitternacht.Mitternacht! Feldwacht!

"I cannot and may not be merry;when everyone is asleep,I must keep watch,and be mournful."

"Ah lad ou shouldn't be sad


6/21

for I will wait for youin the rosegarden,in the green clover."

"To the green clover, I do not come;to the weapons garden,full of halberds,I have been posted."

"If you are in the battlefield, may God help you!On God's blessingis everything dependent,he who believes it."

"He who believes it is far away.He is a king,he is an emperor,and he makes war."

Halt! Who's there? Turn around! Stand back!Who sang here? Who was singing this hour?A solitary field sentinelwas singing at midnight.Midnight! Field sentinel!

2. Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht? Who thought up this little song?

Dort [oben]1 in dem hohen Haus,Da guckt ein fein's lieb's Mdel heraus,Es ist nicht dort daheime,

Es ist des Wirts sein Tchterlein,Es wohnt auf grner Heide.

Und wer das Mdel haben will,Mu tausend Taler findenUnd mu sich auch verschwren,Nie mehr zu Wein zu gehen,Des Vaters Gut verzehren.

"Mein Herze ist wund,komm Schtzel mach's gesund!

Dein schwarzbraune uglein,Die haben mich vertwundt!

Dein rosiger MundMacht Herzen gesund.Macht Jugend verstndig,Macht Tote lebendig,Macht Kranke gesund."

Wer hat denn das schne Liedlein erdacht?Es haben's drei Gns bers Wasser ebracht


7/21

Zwei graue und eine weie;Und wer das Liedlein nicht singen kann,Dem wollen sie es pfeifen.

Up there on the mountain, in a high-up house,a lovely, darling girl looks out of the window.She does not live there:she is the daughter of the innkeeper,

and she lives on the green meadow.

[ And he who would have herwould find a thousand thalers,but he would have to swearnever to have wine againto have her father's property. ]2

"My heart is sore!Come, my treasure, make it well again!Your dark brown eyes

have wounded me.

Your rosy mouthmakes hearts healthy.It makes youth wise,brings the dead to life,gives health to the ill."

Who has thought up this pretty little song then?It was brought over the water by three geese -two grey and one white -

and if you cannot sing the little song,they will whistle it for you!

3. Der Tambourgsell The Drummer BoyIch armer Tambourgesell,Man fhrt mich aus dem Gwlb,Wr ich ein Tambour blieben,Drft ich nicht gefangen liegen.

O Galgen, du hohes Haus,Du siehst so furchtbar aus,

Ich schau dich nicht mehr an,Weil i wei, da i gehr dran.

Wenn Soldaten vorbeimarschieren,Bei mir nicht einquartieren.Wenn sie fragen, wer i g'wesen bin:Tambour von der Leibkompanie.

Gute Nacht, ihr Marmelstein,Ihr Berg und Hgelein.Gute Nacht ihr Offizier


8/21

Korporal und Musketier.

Gute Nacht! Ihr Offizier',Korporal und Grenadier!Ich schrei mit lauter Stimm,Von euch ich Urlaub nimm.Gute Nacht! Gute Nacht.

I, poor drummer boy -they're leading me from my cell.If I had stayed a drummerI would not be imprisoned now.

O gallows, you lofty house,You look so fearsome,I won't look at you any longerbecause I know I am yours.

When soldiers march by

who were not quartered with me -when they ask who I was:I was a drummer from the first company.

Good night, marble rocks,mountains and hills -Good night, officers,corporals and musketeers.

Good night, officers,corporals and grenadiers,

I cry with a loud voice,and take my leave of you!Good night! Good night.

Und als [das Korn]3 gemahlen war,[Rief]4 das Kind noch immerdar:"Mutter, ach Mutter! es hungert mich,Gib mir Brot, sonst sterbe ich."]"Warte nur, mein liebes Kind,Morgen wollen wir backen [geschwind."]1

Und als das Brot gebacken war,Lag das Kind auf der Totenbahr.

[ "Mother, oh Mother! I'm hungry;Give me bread, or I shall die!""Wait a little, my darling child;Tomorrow we shall sow quickly."

And when the corn had been sown,The child wailed again: ]"Mother, oh Mother! I'm hungry;Give me bread, or I shall die!""Wait a little, my darling child;Tomorrow we shall harvest quickly."

And when the corn had been harvested,The child wailed again:"Mother, oh Mother! I'm hungry;Give me bread, or I shall die!""Wait a little, my darling child;Tomorrow we shall thresh quickly."

And when the corn had been threshed,The child wailed again:"Mother, oh Mother! I'm hungry;

Give me bread, or I shall die!"[ "Wait a little, my darling child;Tomorrow we shall grind quickly."

And when the corn had been ground,The child wailed again:"Mother, oh Mother! I'm hungry;Give me bread, or I shall die!" ]"Wait a little, my darling child;Tomorrow we shall bake quickly."


10/21

And when the bread had been baked,The child was lying on the funeral bier.

He:Silly lassie,I won't go with you!

She:You want maybe a bit to nibble?Fetch yourself something out of my pocket!Fetch it, dear laddie!Fetch it, I bet you!

He:


11/21

Silly lassie,I don't want to nibble anything! Nothing!

She:Ah, shall I give you my heart?so you'll always think of me?Take it! Dear laddie,Take it, I beg you!

He:Silly lassie,I don't want it!

6. Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt St. Anthonys Sermon to the FishesAntonius zur PredigtDie Kirche findt ledig.Er geht zu den Flssenund predigt den Fischen;

Sie schlagen mit den Schwnzen,Im Sonnenschein glnzen.

Die Karpfen mit RogenSind [allhier gezogen]1,Haben d'Muler aufrissen,Sich Zuhrens beflissen;

Kein Predigt niemalenDen Karpfen so g'fallen.

Spitzgoschete Hechte,Die immerzu fechten,Sind eilend herschwommen,Zu hren den Frommen;

[ Kein Predigt niemalenDen Hechten so g'fallen.]2

Auch jene Phantasten,Die immerzu fasten;Die Stockfisch ich meine,

Zur Predigt erscheinen;

Kein Predigt niemalenDen Stockfisch so g'fallen.

Gut Aale und Hausen,Die vornehme schmausen,Die selbst sich bequemen,Die Predigt vernehmen:

Kein Predi t niemalen


12/21

den Aalen so g'fallen.]2

Auch Krebse, Schildkroten,Sonst langsame Boten,Steigen eilig vom Grund,Zu hren diesen Mund:

Kein Predigt niemalen

den Krebsen so g'fallen.

Fisch groe, Fisch kleine,Vornehm und gemeine,Erheben die KpfeWie verstndge Geschpfe:

Auf Gottes BegehrenDie Predigt anhren.

Die Predigt geendet,

Ein jeder sich wendet,Die Hechte bleiben Diebe,Die Aale viel lieben.

Die Predigt hat g'fallen.Sie bleiben wie alle.

Die Krebs gehn zurcke,Die Stockfisch bleiben dicke,Die Karpfen viel fressen,die Predigt vergessen.

Die Predigt hat g'fallen.Sie bleiben wie alle.

St. Anthony arrives for his Sermonand finds the church empty.He goes to the riversto preach to the fishes;

They flick their tails,which glisten in the sunshine.

The carp with roehave all come here,their mouths wide open,listening attentively.

No sermon everpleased the carp so.

Sharp-mouthed pikethat are alwa s fi htin


13/21

have come here, swimming hurriedlyto hear this pious one;

No sermon everpleased the pike so.

Also, those fantastic creaturesthat are always fasting -

the stockfish, I mean -they also appeared for the sermon;

No sermon everpleased the stockfish so.

Good eels and sturgens,that banquet so elegantly -even they took the troubleto hear the sermon:

No sermon everpleased the eels so.

Crabs too, and turtles,usually such slowpokes,rise quickly from the bottom,to hear this voice.

No sermon everpleased the crabs so.

Big fish, little fish,noble fish, common fish,all lift their headslike sentient creatures:

At God's behestthey listen to the sermon.

The sermon having ended,each turns himself around;the pikes remain thieves,

the eels, great lovers.

The sermon has pleased them,but they remain the same as before.

The crabs still walk backwards,the stockfish stay rotund,the carps still stuff themselves,the sermon is forgotten!

The sermon has leased them


14/21

but they remain the same as before.

7. Urlicht Primal Light

O Rschen rot,Der Mensch liegt in grter Not,Der Mensch liegt in grter Pein,Je lieber mcht' ich im Himmel sein.

Da kam ich auf einem breiten Weg,Da kam ein Engelein und wollt' mich abweisen.Ach nein, ich lie mich nicht abweisen!Ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott,Der liebe Gott wird mir ein Lichtchen geben,Wird leuchten mir bis [in]1 das ewig selig' Leben!

O little red rose,Man lies in greatest need,Man lies in greatest pain.Ever would I prefer to be in heaven.

Once I came upon a wide road,There stood an Angel who wanted to turn me away.But no, I will not be turned away!I came from God, and will return to God,The loving God who will give me a little light,To lighten my way up to eternal, blessed life!

2. Benjamin Britten, The holy sonnets of John Donne [5] [9] 1511Paul Austin Kelly, tenor; Michael Recchiuti, piano

5. What If This Present; 6. Since She Whom I Loved;7. At The Round Earths Imagined Corners; 8. Thou Hast Made Me;

9. Death, Be Not Proud5. What if this presentWhat if this present were the world's last night?Marke in my heart, O Soule, where thou dost dwell,The picture of Christ crucified, and tellWhether that countenance can thee affright,Teares in his eyes quench the amazing light,Blood fills his frownes, which from his pierc'd head fell.And can that tongue adjudge thee into hell,Which pray'd forgivenesse for his foes fierce spight?No, no; but as in my Idolatrie

I said to all my profane mistresses,Beauty, of pity, foulenesse onely isA sign of rigour: so I say to thee,To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign'd,This beauteous forme assures a piteous minde.

6. Since she whom I lovedSince she whom I lov'd hath pay'd her last debtTo Nature, and to hers, and my good is dead,And her Soule early into Heaven ravished,Wholl on heavenl thin s m mind is sett.


15/21

Here the admyring her my mind did whettTo seeke thee God; so streams do shew their head;But though I have found thee and thou my thirst hast fed,A holy thirsty dropsy melts mee yett,But why should I begg more love, when as thouDost wooe my soul for hers: off'ring all thine:And dost not only feare lest I allowMy love to Saints and Angels, things divine,

But in thy tender jealousy dost doubtLest the world, Fleshe, yea, Devill putt thee out.

7. At the round earths imagined cornersAt the round earth's imagined corners, blowYour trumpets, angels, and ariseFrom death, you numberless infinitiesOf souls, and to your scattered bodies go,All whom the flood did, and fire shall o'erthrowAll whom war, death, age, agues, tyrannies,Despair, law, chance hath slain; and you whose eyes

Shall behold God and never taste death's woe,But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space,For, if above all these my sins abound,'Tis late to ask abundance of Thy grace,When we are there. Here on this lowly ground,Teach me how to repent, for that's as goodAs if [Thou hadst]1 seal'd my pardon with Thy blood.

8. Thou hast made meThou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?Repaire me now, for now mine end doth haste,

I runne to death, and death meets me as fast,And all my pleasures are like yesterday;I dare not move my dim eyes anyway,Despaire behind, and death before doth castSuch terror, and my feeble flesh doth wasteBy sinne in it, which it t'wards Hell doth weigh;Onely thou art above, and when t'wards theeBy thy leave I can looke, I rise againe;But our old subtle foe so tempteth me,That not one houre myselfe can I sustaine;Thy Grace may wing me to prevent his art,

And thou like Adamant draw mine iron heart.

9. Death, be not proudDeath be not proud, though some have called theeMighty and dreadfull, for thou art not soe,For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,Die not, poore death, nor [yet canst thou]1 kill mee.From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures be,Much pleasure; then from thee, much more must flow,And soonest our best men with thee do goe,Rest of their bones and souls deliverie.


16/21

Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings and desperate men,And dost with poyson, warre, and sickness dwell,And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as wellAnd better than thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

3. Ludwig van Beethoven, Sehnsucht(Four Settings) [20] [23] 538

Adele Stolte, soprano; Walter Olbertz, piano

Nur wer die Sehnsucht kenntWei, was ich leide!Allein und abgetrenntVon aller Freude,Seh ich [ans]1 FirmamentNach [jener]2 Seite.

Ach! der mich liebt und kennt,Ist in der Weite.

Es schwindelt mir, es brenntMein Eingeweide.Nur wer die Sehnsucht kenntWei, was ich leide!

Only one who knows longingKnows what I suffer!Alone and cut offFrom all joy,I look into the firmamentIn that direction.

Ach! he who loves and knows meIs far away.I am reeling,My entrails are burning.Only one who knows longingKnows what I suffer!

17/21

Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae, in splendoribus sanctorum: exutero ante luciferum genui te.Juravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in aeternumsecundum ordinem Melchisedech.Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die irae suae reges.Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas, conquasabit capita in terramultorum.De torrente in via bibet, propterea exaltabit caput.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, etnunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.BEATUS VIR

Beatus vir qui timet Dominum, in mandatis ejus volet nimis.Potens in terra erit semen ejus, generatio rectorum benedicetur.Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in saeculumseaculi.Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis, misericors et miserator etjustus.Jucundus homo, qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suosin judicio.

Quia in aeternum non commovebitur.In memoria aeterna erit justus, ab auditione mala non timebit.Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino.Confirmatum est cor ejus; Non commovebitur donec dispiciatinimicos suos.Dispersit, dedit pauperibus, justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.Cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.Peccator videbit et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet et tabescet:desiderium peccatorum peribit.Gloria Patri ....LAUDATE PUERI

18/21

Fecit potentiam in bracchio suo: dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae.Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini ejus insaecula.Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, etnunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

PSALM 110The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make yourenemies your footstool.The sceptre of your power the Lord shall send forth from Zion: Rulethou in the midst of your enemies.The power to rule is with you on the day of your strength, in thesplendor of the holy ones: I have begotten you from the wombbefore the rising of the day-star.The Lord has sworn an oath, and will not repent of it: You are apriest for ever, after the order of Melchisedech.The Lord at your right hand destroys kings on the day of his wrath.

He shall judge among the heathen; he shall pile up ruins and scatterskulls on many lands.He shall drink of the torrent in his way; therefore he shall lift up hishead.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As itwas in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world withoutend. Amen.PSALM 112

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights in hiscommandments.His seed shall be mighty upon the earth; the generation of the

righteous shall be blessed.Glory and prosperity shall be in his house; and his justice enduresfrom generation to generation.A light has risen in the darkness for the upright: one who is merciful,compassionate, and just.Happy is the man who sympathizes and shares, who chooses hiswords with discretion:Because he will not be troubled for eternity, the just man shall be ineverlasting remembrance.He shall not fear evil tidings: his heart is ready to hope in the Lord.His heart is strengthened; he shall not be shaken until he looks down

upon his enemies.He disperses, he gives to the poor; his justice endures fromgeneration to generation. His horn shall be exalted with honor.The wicked will see, and be angered; he will gnash with his teeth,and waste away. The desire of the wicked shall perish.Glory be to the Father . . .PSALM 113

O praise the Lord, ye children, praise the name of the Lord.Blessed be the name of the Lord from hence forth now and for ever.From the rising of the sun even unto its setting, the name of the Lordis raiseworth .

The Lord is high above all nations, his glory is above the heavens.Who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on high,And yet he considers the lowly in heaven and on earth?Lifting up the needy from the dust, and raising the poor from thedungheap,So that he may place him with the princes of his people.Who makes the sterile woman to dwell in her house, the joyfulmother of children.

Glory be to the Father ....PSALM 117

O praise the Lord, all ye nations; praise him, all ye peoples.For his loving kindness has been bestowed upon us, and the truth ofthe Lord endures for ever.Glory be to the FatherLUKE 1:46-55

My soul magnifies the Lord.And my spirit has rejoiced in God my saviour.For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold,henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

For he who is mighty has done great things to me; and holy is hisname.And his mercy is on them who fear him from generation togeneration.He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud, eventhe arrogant of heart.He has deposed the mighty from their seats, and exalted the humble.The hungry he has filled with good things, and the rich he has sentempty away.He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy.As it was spoken to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As itwas in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world withoutend. Amen. the Father ....

aperuisti credentibus regna caelorum.Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes, in gloria Patris.Iudex crederis esse venturus.Te ergo quaesumus, tuis famulis subveni:quos pretioso sanguine redemisti.Aeterna fac cum sanctis tuis in gloria numerari.

21/21

Et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum.Per singulos dies benedicimus te;Et laudamus Nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculumsaeculi.Dignare, Domine, die isto sine peccato nos custodire.Miserere nostri Domine, miserere nostri.Fiat misericordia tua,Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.

In te, Domine, speravi:non confundar in aeternum.

and bless thine heritage.Govern them : and lift them up for ever.Day by day : we magnify thee;And we worship thy Name : ever world without end.Vouchsafe, O Lord : to keep us this day without sin.O Lord, have mercy upon us : have mercy upon us.

O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us :as our trust is in thee.

O Lord, in thee have I trusted :let me never be confounded.
