Abendlied by Franz Commer — Lyrics
So still und schweigend liegt die Nacht um mich,
kein Lüftchen regt in Flur und Haine sich,
kein Sang der Vögel tönt im weiten Raum,
kein leises Blättchen flüstert auf dem Baum,
und Wog‘ und Flut, umhüllt von Dunkel, liegt
so ruhig wie im tiefen Schlaf gewiegt.
Über den Wassern steht ein Stern so mild
und spiegelt in der Flut sein schönes Bild;
die Woge, wie durchbebt von süßer Lust,

About Abendlied
Franz Commer's Abendlied is a secular German partsong for TTBB choir. The text evokes a scene of deep tranquility as night descends. The poet describes a world hushed and still, with no sound of wind or birdsong. Even the water lies quiet, as if asleep. A gentle star appears, its reflection shimmering on the surface of the water, creating a scene of profound peace and beauty. The music likely reflects this serene atmosphere, capturing the magic and wonder of the natural world at rest. This piece offers a moment of quiet contemplation and appreciation for the simple, elegant beauty of the night.
