Dachsteinlied by Ludwig Carl Seydler — Lyrics
About Dachsteinlied
Ludwig Carl Seydler's Dachsteinlied is a secular anthem in German. The text paints a vivid picture of the Austrian state of Styria, evoking its dramatic mountain landscapes from the Dachstein to the Drava river, and its inhabitants, from the chamois and hunters of the Alps to the industrious workers in iron foundries. The song celebrates this 'beautiful land' as a cherished homeland, with lyrics that speak of its natural beauty and the strength of its people. This leadsheet setting offers a straightforward musical representation of this patriotic ode.
