Johannes Brahms - Harfenklang

music_brahms_harfenklang_angel

Johannes Brahms is less known then other teutonic giants like Beethoven, Mozart or Bach. Still his work was highly influential and his huge body of work is a ‘Delikatesse’ for any lover of classical music.

The following piece invokes for me a blissful vision of heaven and filled with singing angels - without any Kitsch and religious overtones. Just me, myself and I - floating in clouds, gentle beings all around and eternal love in the air. I wish all religious and spiritual music would be so careful, sweet and gentle.

mo

wonderful … and this in a gently sunday-afternoon!

you know ´sonntag` sets to music from brahms? here the lyrics:

op. 47, 3
Sonntag
by Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862)

So hab’ ich doch die ganze Woche
Mein feines Liebchen nicht geseh’n,
Ich sah es an einem Sonntag
Wohl vor der Türe steh’n:
Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein,
Das tausendschöne Herzelein,
Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär’ heute bei ihr!

So will mir doch die ganze Woche
Das Lachen nicht vergeh’n,
Ich sah es an einem Sonntag
Wohl in die Kirche geh’n:
Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein,
Das tausendschöne Herzelein,
Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär’ heute bei ihr!

if you find that … thx for your wonderful tools!

My pleasure Mo. Thanks for the lyrics. Send me any classical music you think should appear here!

I’m looking for the story behind this song. Anyone???

@CBLY: Have you looked at the Brahms Society website?
