Es kommt ein Tag des Herrn by Carl Ludwig Drobisch — Lyrics
About Es kommt ein Tag des Herrn
Carl Ludwig Drobisch composed Es kommt ein Tag des Herrn as a secular part-song for two female voices. The German text speaks of hope and eventual triumph over darkness and suffering. It uses natural imagery – a morning star after night, daylight after dusk, and the sun's rays overcoming storm clouds – to illustrate that a day of light, rest, and awakening will inevitably follow hardship. The composer's setting aims to reflect this message of reassurance and ultimate redemption.
