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

Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt...
Language: German (Deutsch)

Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern,
Wie sich Jammer und Glück wechseln in liebender Brust.
Heilen könnet die Wunden ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen;
Aber Linderung kommt einzig, ihr Guten, von euch.

Now, you Muses, enough! In vain you...
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Now, you Muses, enough! In vain you strive to describe
how misery and happiness alternate in a loving breast.
You cannot heal the wounds that Amor has caused,
but solace can come only from you, Kindly Ones.
