Hoscha wen wöl wir by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
Hoscha wen wöl wir frölich sein/
der küle wein/
thut unser teglich warten./*
Die gselschafft auch versamlet ist/
an bösen list/
miescht sie nun schon die karten/*
wolauff zum wein/
mein brüderlein/
laß sorgen unterwegen/
hab gueten müet/
wer weis wers thut/
wol uber ein iar/
villeicht lig wir/
so han wirs gar.
2.
Die nechtig trünck hangen wir an/
das ich schwer kan/
vor tollheit mich umschen./*
Ach schweig her wort mein lieber gsel/
kayn ungefel/
wirdt dir aus dem geschehen./*
volg ietzt nur mir/

About Hoscha wen wöl wir
Ludwig Senfl’s Hoscha wen wöl wir is a lively German secular Lieder for SATB choir. The music opens with a joyful, dance-like character. The four voices engage in imitative interplay, creating a rich texture that celebrates good fellowship and the pleasures of wine. The text encourages listeners to cast aside their worries, enjoy the present moment with friends, and embrace merriment. It speaks of a gathering where companionship is paramount, and the simple act of sharing wine is a daily comfort. The composer skillfully captures the carefree spirit of the lyrics, making this a vibrant and engaging work for mixed voices.
