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

Ballad on Queen Anne's Death
Language: English 
March with his wind hath struck a cedar tall, 
And weeping April mourns the cedars fall, 
And May intends no flowers her month shall bring 
Since she must lose the flower of all the spring.
    Thus March's wind hath caused April showers,
    And yet sad May must lose her flow'r of flowers.
