Am Donaustrande, Op. 52, No. 9|{{NoCo|Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52 by Johannes Brahms — Lyrics
Am Donaustrande, da steht ein Haus
da schaut ein rosiges Mädchen aus.
Das Mädchen ist wohl gut gehegt,
zehn eiserne Riegel sind vor die Türe gelegt.

About Am Donaustrande, Op. 52, No. 9|{{NoCo|Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52
The lively waltz rhythm of Am Donaustrande immediately sets a cheerful mood, a characteristic feature of Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes. This SATB setting for mixed choir features a delightful interplay between the voices, creating a rich and engaging texture. The German text tells a charming story of a rosy-cheeked girl in a house by the Danube, protected by ten iron bolts. However, the singer boldly declares these are no obstacle, easily broken as if made of glass. It’s a delightful and spirited piece, ideal for adding a touch of playful romance to a concert programme.
