Am Bache by Joseph Gersbach — Lyrics
Immer fließe, sanft und linde,
lieber kleiner Bach dahin,
und durch bunte Wiesen winde
krümmend dich zum Wäldchen hin!
Tränke Blumen, gleite weiter
längs dem Ufer hin vor mir,
schön und lieblich, hell und heiter
lächelt jede Well’ in dir.
Sieh, im Schatten bunter Auen
lagern wir an dir, o Bach,

About Am Bache
The flowing stream is the subject of this secular German partsong for SATB chorus. The text paints a tranquil scene of repose by the water, where the gentle sound of the brook and the singing of birds lull the weary travelers to sleep. It celebrates the beauty and peacefulness of nature, with the brook nourishing flowers and reflecting the sky. The composer Joseph Gersbach evokes the gentle, meandering character of the stream and the idyllic atmosphere of a summer's day in the countryside. This is a beautiful and evocative setting, perfect for a choir seeking to capture a sense of pastoral calm.
