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

by Johann Nikolaus Götz (1721 - 1781)

Der verdienstvolle Sylvius
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Von allen Sterblichen auf Erden
Bin ich der Allerärmeste.
Zwei Lämmchen, das sind meine Herden;
Mein Feld, das ist ein Fleckchen Klee.
Doch wenn man auf Verdienste säh',
Gewiß, ich müßte König werden:
Denn ich bin der Verliebteste
Von allen Sterblichen auf Erden.
