Entschuldigung by Friedrich Silcher — Lyrics
Und sitz ich in der Schenke
bei'm vollen Glase Wein:
so denk' ich dein in Ehren,
lieb Weib, so hold und rein!
Und gibt sein tiefes Fühlen
der Ein' und Andre kund,

About Entschuldigung
Friedrich Silcher composed this German male-voice part-song for TTBB. It is a secular work, typical of the German Lieder tradition that flourished in the 19th century. The text expresses a man's deep affection and respect for his wife, even as he enjoys himself in a tavern. He drinks toasts to her honour, declaring that even excessive celebration would never be too much in her praise. The music would likely reflect the convivial and heartfelt sentiments of the lyrics, offering a charming addition to a male choir's repertoire.
