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

Ihr Glocken von Marling, wie braust ihr so hell!
Ein wohliges Lauten, als sänge der Quell.
Ihr Glocken von Marling, ein heil'ger Gesang
Umwallet wie schützend den weltlichen Klang,
Nehmt mich in die Mitte der tönenden Flut -
Ihr Glocken von Marling, behütet mich gut!

Bells of Marling
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
 Bells of Marling, how brightly you toll!
 It is a pleasant sound, as if a spring were singing.
 Bells of Marling, your holy song
 surrounds everything, as if protecting the worldly clangor;
 Take me into the midst of your flood of tones -
 Bells of Marling, protect me well!
