Kirmes-Lied, Op. 24, 3 by Eduard Tauwitz — Lyrics
1. Hört, wie sie blasen, filden und schrei'n!
hört, wie der Brummbass brummet darein!
Juch! Juch!
Willst du nicht froh sein, bleib' du zu Haus!
Kannst du nicht tanzen, geh' nicht hinaus!
Juch! Didellidellum, Juch!
2. Singen und springen, tanzen wir auch,
so ist es Sitte, so ist es Brauch!
Juch! Juch!

About Kirmes-Lied, Op. 24, 3
Eduard Tauwitz's Kirmes-Lied, Op. 24, 3, is a lively SATB setting of German secular text. The words paint a vivid picture of a village fair, a 'Kirmes', bursting with sound and revelry. The composer urges everyone to join in the joy, declaring that sadness has no place at such a celebration. The text invites listeners to shed their worries and embrace the boisterous atmosphere. Even the natural world, with rustling trees and singing birds, is depicted as participating in the festive spirit. This cheerful part-song captures the exuberant communal feeling of a traditional fair.
