Lied der Desdemona
Music: Mathilde Kralik (1857–1944) · Words: Pierre Letourneur (1736–1788) · lyricist: Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803)
An einem Baum, am Weidenbaum sass sie,
gedrückt die Hand zum Herzen schwer von Leide,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:57) 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
An einem Baum, am Weidenbaum sass sie,
gedrückt die Hand zum Herzen schwer von Leide,
gesenkt das Haupt auf ewig fern der Freude,
so weinte sie, so sang sie spät und früh,
so sang sie spät und früh:
singt alle Weide, singt meine süsse,
meine liebe, grüne Weide, liebe,
grüne Weide, liebe, grüne Weide.
Der helle Strom, er fühlet mit ihr Ach!
Er rauschet sanft zu ihren Klagetönen,
Der Fels in ihm erweicht von ihren Tränen,
hallt traurig den gebrochnen Seufzer nach,
hallt traurig nach:
singt alle Weide, singt meine süsse,
meine liebe, grüne Weide, liebe,
grüne Weide, liebe, grüne Weide.
Du hangend Laub, geliebte Weide,
du, Was neigst du dich herab zu meinem Leide?
Mir Kranz zu sein in meinem Leichenkleide!
Hier schwur er mir; hier find ich meine Ruh,
hier find ich meine Ruh,
Singt alle Weide, singt meine süsse,
meine liebe, grüne Weide, liebe,
grüne Weide, liebe grüne Wei de.
