Das Fenster, MWV K 29
Music: Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) · Words: Karl Klingemann (1798–1862)
Es lauschte das Laub so dunkelgrün dort in
das Fenster hinein,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:46) 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
Es lauschte das Laub so dunkelgrün dort in
das Fenster hinein,
die Sonne darin am liebsten schien,
dort sangen die Vögelein. Sie wähnen,
es werde so ewig währen, sie spielen und
mögen’s nicht anders begehren.
Es lauscht aus dem Laub so dunkelgrün,
es strahlen dort Augen hinaus,
es ranken die Reben im stillen Bemüh’n,
umgarnen das einsame Haus. Es wähnen die
Armen, das Leuchten zu fangen,
sie streben und weben mit Sehnsucht und
Bangen.
Nun rauschet das Laub so gelblich rot,
sieht nicht mehr in’s Fenster hinein,
das Vögelgezwitscher ist still und tot,
vorüber der Sonnenschein! Wohl musste das
freudige Grün verblassen, das Fenster im
Laube ist leer und verlassen,
das Fenster im Laub’ ist leer, ist leer und
verlassen.
