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

Contra plagam
Language: Latin 
Libera plebem tibi servientem,
ira mitescat tua, sancte rector,
lacrimas clemens gemitusque amaros
respice, Christe.

Tu pater noster dominusque celsus,
nos tui servi sumus, alme pastor,
frontibus nostris rosei cruoris
signa gerentes.

Infero tristi tibi quis fatetur?
Mortui laudes tibi num sacrabunt?
Ferreae virgae, metuende iudex,
parce, rogamus.

Non propinetur populo tuoque
nunc calix irae, meriti furoris:
clareant priscae miserationes --
quaesumus, audi.

Deleas nostrum facinus, precamur,
nosque conserva, benedicte princeps,
mentium furvas supera tenebras,
lux pia mundi.

Sancte sanctorum, dominusque regum,
visitet plebem tua sancta dextra,
nos tuo vultu videas serenus,
ne pereamus.
