Im Holz|Sechs vierstimmige Lieder für Sopran, Alt, Tenor und Bass, Op. 47 by Moritz Hauptmann — Lyrics
Wo das Echo schallt
durch die Buchen hin,
nach dem grünen Wald
zieht mich Herz und Sinn,
wenn die Drossel schlägt,
sich das Laub bewegt,
und der Wind so fegt
drüber hin.
Da ist's wonniglich,
da ist's still und weit,
da ist Raum für mich
und für Freud' und Leid,

About Im Holz|Sechs vierstimmige Lieder für Sopran, Alt, Tenor und Bass, Op. 47
The composer invites us into the woods, a place of solace and reflection. The text speaks of being drawn to the forest, where the calls of birds and rustling leaves create a sense of peace and expansive freedom, a space for both joy and sorrow. There is a profound longing for this natural sanctuary, a place where even death might offer release. This SATB setting of German text captures the contemplative mood, painting a vivid picture of nature's embrace and the inner feelings it evokes. The parts work together to create a rich, homophonic texture, ideal for conveying the poem's gentle melancholy and deep appreciation for the natural world.
