7 Lieder by Franz Xaver Engelhart — Lyrics
About 7 Lieder
Franz Xaver Engelhart's collection, 7 Lieder, presents a selection of sacred songs for SA voices in German. The first song, Wenn ich ein Glöcklein wär, uses simple, evocative imagery of a little bell and a bird to express devotion, culminating in the invocation of Ave Maria. The second, Die Hirten bei der Krippe, takes us to the nativity scene, where shepherds rejoice at the fulfillment of the angel's prophecy. The text speaks of the infant Jesus, swaddling clothes, and a message of peace and hope, urging hearts to awaken to a new dawn. These Lieder offer a gentle and devotional musical expression.
