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 Franz Seraph Kohlbrenner (1728 - 1783)
Translation

Deutsches Salve Regina
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Sei Mutter der Barmherzigkeit,
Sei Königin gegrüßet,
Des Lebens Freud' und Süßigkeit,
Durch die uns Trost zufließet.
 
Zu dir, o Mutter, rufen wir,
Mit Tränen seufzen wir zu dir,
O wend' dein freundlich Angesicht
Auf uns vom Himmels Throne.

Versag' uns deine Fürbitt' nicht
Bei Jesu, deinem Sohne,
Nach unserm Tode zeig' uns ihn,
Bei ihm sei uns're Mittlerin
In aller Trübsal, in Angst und Not.
 
O hilf uns in den Leiden,
Hilf, tröste uns und bitt' bei Gott,
Wenn wir von hinnen scheiden,
Erwerb uns Sieg im letzten Streit,
O Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!

Note: While Kohlbrenner's original text consists of three stanzas with 6 lines each, Schubert subdivided the text into four stanzas (4+4+5+5 lines). Kohlbrenner's Salve Regina has been reprinted many times in various prayer books, with small textual variations. While Schubert's actual text source is not known, comparatively close is Katholisches Gesangbuch zum allgemeinen Gebrauche bei öffentlichen Gottesverehrungen, Erster Band. München, 1810, pages 354-355.
