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

Am Sonntag Morgen, zierlich angethan,
Wohl weiß ich, wo du da bist hingegangen,
Und manche Leute waren, die dich sahn,
Und kamen dann zu mir, dich zu verklagen.
Als sie mir's sagten, hab' ich laut gelacht
Und in der Kammer dann geweint [zu]1 Nacht.
Als sie mir's sagten, fing ich an zu singen,
Um einsam dann die Hände wund zu ringen.

On Sunday morning, dressed so gracefully
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
On Sunday morning, dressed so gracefully,
 Well do I know where you went,
And there were many people who saw you
And came then to me to complain about you.
When they told me, I laughed loudly,
 But then in my room, I wept the night.
When they told me, I began to sing,
 But then afterwards, alone, I wrung my hands raw.
