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

L'enfant Jesus des images 
Le beau bébé rose et blanc 
Tend ses deux poings vers les mages 
Ou vers un berger tremblant
Le boeuf sans cérémonie
Rumine en grondant un peu
Et la Vierge en manteau bleu
Sourit à la compagnie

A picture of Christmas
Language: English  after the French (Français) 
Baby Jesus as depicted, 
a baby pink and fair
Stretches both his fists towards the Magi 
and a trembling shepherd,
The ox, unceremoniously, chews, lowing softly
And the virgin in a blue cloak 
smiles at the assembled company.
