Abendlied by Franz Wilhelm Abt — Lyrics
Der Abend sinkt, im dunklen Nebelschleier
ruht still die Welt vom Mondenschein bestrahlt;
das glüh'nde Abendrot beginnt zu feiern
den Dank zu Gott, wenn es die Berge malt,

About Abendlied
The evening descends, and the world rests in the moonlight, bathed in a soft glow. The vibrant sunset paints the mountains, a glorious celebration of thanks to God. As clouds drift down, joyful songs ring out to the Creator watching over us in heaven. This is a gentle setting of a German text, a reflective secular part-song for TTBB male voices. It evokes the peaceful beauty of twilight and expresses gratitude for the natural world, concluding with a tender farewell to the day.
