Ich hab's gewagt frisch unverzagt by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Ich hab's gewagt frisch unverzagt
in rechter Lieb und Treue.
Ich bitt, halt fest, wie du mir hast
gered't, soll dich nicht reuen.
Ich will allein dein Eigen sein,
darauf bin b'dacht und wohl betracht,
daß du sollst sein
die Herzallerliebste mein.
Es ist gar fein, wo ihr' zwei sein,
die's recht und treulich meinen,
die sich allzeit in Lieb und Leid,
in Sachen groß und kleine

About Ich hab's gewagt frisch unverzagt
Melchior Franck was a prolific composer of the German late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This SATB setting, Ich hab's gewagt frisch unverzagt, is a secular German madrigal that speaks of steadfast love and loyalty. The text expresses the singer's bold commitment to a beloved, vowing unwavering fidelity and trust, even in the face of hardship. It reflects on the joy of a true partnership where both individuals are devoted to each other, through all circumstances, great and small. The composer emphasizes the sincere and heartfelt nature of this pledge, hoping for a lasting bond that only death can sever.
