Vienna Boyschoir : Weißt du wieviel sternlein stehen.

[etransform]

Having retired now, I discovered the joy of YouTube in rekindling memories of old songs. 50 years ago when I married a German girl, I learned the joy and beauty of German Weihnachten and this song. So while browsing YouTube I just thought I'd see if I could find this song based on the first line. I was delighted to find it and other Weihnachtslieder. Thanks a million for uploading.

Weißt du wieviel Sternlein stehen?

Am Nachthimmel sichtbar sind etwa 6000 Sterne.

wunderschön...

Der Text stammt von dem deutschen Pfarrer und Lieddichter Wilhelm Hey (1789-1854). Die Melodie ist eine alte Volksweise, die erstmals um 1840 aufgezeichnet wurde. So ein schönes Lied.

weißt du wie viel sternleinb stehen an den blauen himmelszelt?

weißt du wie viel wolken gehen hoch hinüber alle welt?

Gott der herr hat sie gezählet

das ihm auch nicht eines fehlet...

an der schönen großen Zahl...

I have several different recordings of the Vienna Boys Choir singing this song. Somehow this version (from the Hans Gillesberger era) is the most poignant of all. Beautiful job!

[orion8352]

Thank you for your friendly comment !

These old recordings of WSK are so beautiful, they make me weep!

[johninfargo]

I agree. They come in through the ears and go right to the heart and soul. They make me somber but I can't stop listening to them, they are so beautiful.

[larkhallrules]

You don't know this song ?

In French : Sais- tu combien il y a de petites étoiles ?

5 Stars Orion. Wonderful song with the great WSK for this period. Thank you Orion.

[orion8352]

Yes this was recorded in the 70th's.

[benoitmaur]

non, il faudra que je demande au petit prince de st Exupéry Et tu ouvriras parfois ta fenêtre, comme ça, pour le plaisir et tes amis seront bien étonnés de te voir rire en regardant le ciel. Alors tu leur diras : « oui, les étoiles, ça ma toujours fait rire ! » Et ils te croiront fou. »
