Der Sängerbund by Peter Joseph von Lindpaintner — Lyrics
Lebe hoch, und dreimal hoch!
was wir liebend schon umfangen!
Was wir wünschen und verlangen,
spross‘ und blühe schöner noch!
Blüh‘ und wachse schön empor,
was wir wünschen und verlangen,
was wir liebend schon umfangen,
blüh‘ in immer schön‘rem Flor!
Fried‘ und Freiheit jeder Zone,
Recht und Weisheit auf dem Throne!
Schönheit durch Natur und Kunst;
nur der Edlen Lieb‘ und Gunst!

About Der Sängerbund
The text of Peter Joseph von Lindpaintner's Der Sängerbund expresses fervent wishes for growth, beauty, peace, and freedom. It calls for wisdom and justice on the throne, and for beauty to flourish through nature and art, alongside the favour of the noble. The composer sets this optimistic and aspirational German text for TTBB male voices. The songs celebrate brotherhood, purity of heart, and a desire for higher aspirations in all things, ending with a wish that the profound sentiments of art may resonate in deed and life. This is a confident and spirited secular partsong from the 19th century.
