New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Las, que feray? ne que je devenray?
Est il nesun qui me puist consoler,
Ny aligier des maulx qu'ay a porter
Et nuit et jour, sans que deservy l'ay?

J'ay bien cause se je crye hahay,
Quant mon amy me veult abandoner.
  Las, que [feray? ne que je devenray?
  Est il nesun qui me puist consoler?]

Je l'ay amé leyaulment de cuer vray,
Mais cest amer me sera moult amer,
Car qui aime sans partye trouver,
En verité il n'est pas sans esmay.

  Las, que [feray? ne que je devenray?
  Est il nesun qui me puist consoler,
  Ny aligier des maulx qu'ay a porter
  Et nuit et jour, sans que deservy l'ay?]
