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

A mirage
Language: English 
Now the mountaintop all purple
Rises thro' a mist of silver,
While the moon, a disc of cobwebs,
Shining in the pallid heavens,
Ghostlike thro' the evening shadows.
 
Now the lofty eucalyptus
Stretches forth its chalky branches
Toward the lovely, lustred heavens,
While the drowsy westwind sighing
Sings the theme of lamentation.
