Die Welt ist so schön by Carl Ludwig Fischer — Lyrics
Was stehst du Mensch mit düsterem Sinn?
die Welt ist doch so schön!
Der Vogel singt ein lebendes Lied,
hellklingend gegen den Himmel es zieht,
und selig wirbelt er in den Höh'n,
die Welt ist so schön, ja, die Welt ist so schön.
Der Strahl des Morgens erwecket die Blum',
sie schließet auf dann ihr duftend Heiligtum,
aus vollem Kelche die Düfte weh'n,
die Welt ist so schön, ja, die Welt ist so schön.

About Die Welt ist so schön
Carl Ludwig Fischer's Die Welt ist so schön is a four-part German secular song that celebrates the beauty of the natural world. The text opens by questioning human melancholy and contrasting it with the vibrant life of birds, flowers, and flowing water, all of which affirm that the world is indeed beautiful. The music aims to capture this sense of joyous appreciation, with a lively and optimistic character. It is written for TTBB male chorus, offering a rich, resonant sound perfect for conveying the composer's message of finding delight in the simple wonders of existence. The piece encourages listeners and singers alike to look beyond their troubles and embrace the loveliness surrounding them.
