Lieblich hat sich gesellet by Max Reger — Lyrics
Lieblich hat sich gesellet
mein Herz in kurzer Frist
zu einer, die mir gefället,
Gott weiß wohl, wer sie ist.
Sie liebet mich ganz inniglich,
die Allerliebste mein,
in Treuen ich sie mein.

About Lieblich hat sich gesellet
Max Reger’s Lieblich hat sich gesellet is a secular German part-song for TTBB male voices. It is a setting of a delightful 16th-century poem, likely written for a spring or summer occasion, celebrating the joy of finding a beloved. The text speaks of a heart finding its true love in a short time, a love that is reciprocated with deep affection. The composer’s music captures the sentiment of youthful devotion, with the German lyrics expressing a pledge of eternal faithfulness. This piece would be a charming addition to a concert programme seeking to explore the rich tradition of secular German part-songs.
