Ein meydlein zu dem brunnen gieng by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
Ein meydlein zu dem brunnen gieng/
und das was seuberlichen/
begegnet jm ein stoltzer knab/
der grüsset sie hertzigklichen/
sie setzt das krieglein neben sich/
und fraget wer er were/
er küsts an jren roten mund/
jr seyt mir nit on mere/
tret here, tret here, tret here, tret here, tret here.

About Ein meydlein zu dem brunnen gieng
This delightful German secular part-song by Ludwig Senfl, set for SATB, would suit a light-hearted moment in a concert programme. The text describes a maiden going to the well and meeting a proud young man. Their exchange is playful and flirtatious, with the maiden asserting her independence and playfully dismissing his advances. The second verse continues this theme, with the maiden showing her spirited nature and declaring she has found another suitor. Senfl’s music would capture the wit and charm of this Renaissance text, making it an engaging and vivacious addition for any choir looking for engaging repertoire.
