Asterie mag bleiben by Johann Nauwach — Lyrics
About Asterie mag bleiben
Johann Nauwach’s charming secular aria, Asterie mag bleiben, is written for two sopranos. The text, in German, speaks of leaving behind fleeting earthly pleasures and superficial beauty in favour of the enduring wisdom and perfection. It expresses a desire to transcend worldly concerns and to sing only of the honour and praise of youth. The singer yearns for a higher goal, a more profound and lasting fulfillment than that offered by transient attractions. This piece would be well-suited to a concert programme exploring themes of spiritual aspiration or the pursuit of knowledge over ephemeral beauty.
