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

Io mi levai dal centro della Terra,
A traverso la settima porta,
E m'assisi sul trono di Saturno.
E molti Enigmi divinai nel cammino.
Ma non l'Enigma della morte umana,
Nè quello del destino.

I am lifted from the center of the earth
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
I am lifted from the center of the earth,
across the seventh door,
and present myself at the throne of Saturn.
I answer many enigmas on the journey,
but not the enigma of human death
nor that of destiny.
