Schäfers Sonntagslied by Conradin Kreutzer — Lyrics
Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
Ich bin allein auf weiter Flur;
Noch eine Morgenglocke nur,
Nun Stille nah und fern.
Anbetend knie ich hier.
O süßes Graun, geheimes Wehn,

About Schäfers Sonntagslied
Conradin Kreutzer's Schäfers Sonntagslied paints a serene picture of solitary devotion on the Lord's Day. The text evokes a shepherd's quiet reverence amidst the vastness of nature, a profound sense of presence as unspoken prayers join his own. This sacred anthem, set for TTBB voices in German, captures the solemn beauty of the opening of creation's day, a moment of deep spiritual connection. The music aims to reflect the awe inspired by a clear, solemn heaven seemingly on the verge of revelation, celebrating the sanctity of this particular day.
