All Lust und Freud by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
All Lust und Freud die Lieb mir geit,
für Gut und Geld auf dieser Weit, fa la la la.
Wenn ich allein kann bei dir sein,
sag ich ohn Scheu, mich dünkt, ich sei,
merk mich mit Fleiß, im Paradeis, fa la la la.
Dein goldgelbs Haar, dein Äuglein klar,
dein Stirne rund, dein roter Mund, fa la la la.
Dein Zähn lein weiß, dein Wänglein heiß,

About All Lust und Freud
Hans Leo Hassler’s All Lust und Freud is a delightful four-part German secular song that would be perfect for a choir looking for something light-hearted and celebratory. This madrigal-style part-song expresses pure joy and admiration for a loved one. The text overflows with praise for their beauty, from golden hair and clear eyes to rosy cheeks and small feet, declaring them unparalleled on Earth. The repeated 'fa la la la' refrains add a touch of playful abandon, characteristic of the genre. Hassler’s writing here is both engaging and accessible, offering a charming expression of affection and delight, ideal for a moment of shared enjoyment in a concert programme.
