Die Schöne by Friedrich Ernst Koch — Lyrics
1. Lieblich hat sich gesellet
mein Herz in kurzer Frist
zu einer, die mir g'fället,
Gott weiß wohl, wer sie ist.
Ich liebe sie ganz inniglich,
die Auserwählt' und Rein.
Gott weiß wohl, wen ich mein'.

About Die Schöne
Friedrich Ernst Koch was a composer of the German Lied tradition. This partsong, Die Schöne, is a secular setting for SATB choir. The German text expresses the deep affection of the composer for his beloved, whom he chose before the blossoming of May. He pledges his unwavering devotion, stating his love is pure and true. The music likely reflects the heartfelt sincerity of the lyrics, offering a romantic and personal sentiment suitable for a mixed-voice choir.
