Abendlied by Moritz Vogel — Lyrics
Abend wird es wieder,
Über Wald und Feld
Säuselt Frieden nieder
Und es ruht die Welt.
Nur der Bach ergießet
Sich am Felsen dort,
Und er braust und fließet
Immer, immer fort.

About Abendlied
On a quiet evening, as peace settles over the world and its weary inhabitants, this German partsong for SSAA voices offers a moment of reflection. The text contrasts the world's rest with the ceaseless flow of a stream, which finds no solace. It then draws a parallel to the human heart, restless in its striving, suggesting that only in divine peace can true rest be found. Moritz Vogel's Abendlied is a secular composition, suitable for a choir seeking evocative and meaningful repertoire to explore themes of nature, longing, and spiritual peace.
