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

Урну с водой уронив, об утёс её дева разбила.
  ‎Дева печально сидит, праздный держа черепок.
Чудо! не сякнет вода, изливаясь из урны разбитой;
‎  Дева, над вечной струёй, вечно печальна сидит.

The statue at Tsarskoye Selo
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский) 
Having dropped an urn of water, the maiden broke it on the cliff.
  The maiden sits, sadly, while holding a broken piece of the pottery.
A miracle! The water does not dry up, as it pours from the broken urn:
  The maiden, above the eternal stream, sits, forever sad.
