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 August Wilhelm Iffland (1759 - 1814)

Chor der Derwische
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 Ein Gott, ein wahrer Gott ist nur,
 Und Mahomet ist sein Prophet;
 Sein Hauch beseelet die Natur,
 Zu ihm steigt unser Dank hinan!
 Den treffe Fluch, der's wagt, 
 Mit Trug dem Allbeherrscher sich zu nah'n.
 Der Frevler kann ihm nicht entfliehn;
 Des Rächers Blitz ereilet ihn,
 Stürzt ihn in Quaal und Schmerz:
 Denn Gott, Gott sieht das Herz!
