Die Geige, sie singet by Willy Geisler — Lyrics
Die Geige, sie singet, sie jubelt und klinget.
Die Geige, sie singet, sie jubelt und klingt.
Die Klarinett, die Klarinett macht dua, dua, dua gar so nett.
Die Klarinett, die Klarinett macht dua, dua, dua gar so nett.
Die Pauke hat's leicht, denn sie spielt nur zwei Töne,

About Die Geige, sie singet
This German secular canon paints a vivid picture of a musical ensemble. The violin sings joyfully, the clarinet plays a cheerful tune, and the kettledrums provide a rhythmic bass. The trumpet adds a bright fanfare, while the horn offers a single, sustained tone. Willy Geisler’s setting for five equal voices captures the lighthearted spirit of the text, with each voice contributing to the lively sonic landscape. The music is designed to be sung in canon, allowing the different instrumental sounds to be represented through interwoven melodic lines.
