Auftrag
Music: Peter Cornelius (1824–1874) · Words: Ludwig Heinrich Christoph Hölty (1748–1776)
Ihr Freunde,
hänget, wenn ich gestorben bin,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:31) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Ihr Freunde,
hänget, wenn ich gestorben bin,
die kleine Harfe hinter dem Altar auf,
wo an der Wand die Totenkränze mancher
verstorbener Mädchen schimmern.
Der Küster zeigt dann freundlich dem Rei
senden die kleine Harf', rauscht mit dem roten
Band, das, um die Harfe fest geschlungen,
unter den gold'nen Saiten flattert.
Oft, sagt er staunend: tönen im Abendgold
von selbst die Saiten, leisewie Bienenton.
Die Kinder, hergelockt vom Kirchhof,
hörten's
und sah'n wie die Kränze bebten.
