Abendlied by Ferdinand Karl Füchs — Lyrics
Komm, stiller Abend, nieder,
auf uns're liebe Flur,
dir tönen uns're Lieder,
wie schön bist du, Natur!
Schon steigt die Abendröte,
hinab in's kühle Tal,

About Abendlied
The composer Ferdinand Karl Füchs paints a serene picture of nature at dusk in his Abendlied. The German text evokes the peaceful descent of evening upon the landscape, with songs rising to greet the beauty of the natural world and the soft glow of the setting sun. As silence gradually envelops all, the SATB choir offers a final song of thanks from beneath the green branches. This is a beautiful example of a secular German partsong, capturing a moment of tranquil reflection and gratitude.
