Im Park by Norbert Lederbauer — Lyrics
Ein ganz kleines Reh stand am ganz kleinen Baum
still und verklärt wie im Traum.
Das war des Nachts elf Uhr zwei.
Und dann kam ich um vier morgens wieder vorbei,
und da träumte noch immer das Tier.

About Im Park
Norbert Lederbauer's Im Park is a setting of a charming German text, perfect for SATB choirs. The song belongs to the Lieder tradition, a genre of secular art songs that flourished in German-speaking countries. The lyrics tell a whimsical story of a small deer standing by a small tree, seemingly in a dream. The narrator approaches the sleeping animal in the early morning hours and gives it a gentle nudge, only to discover it is made of plaster. This unexpected, slightly surreal turn provides a delightful contrast to the peaceful opening imagery, offering a moment of gentle humor for both singers and listeners.
