One of Hugo Wolf's late songs written in 1896 to a poem by Robert Reinick. Within a year he would be incurably insane. Even so, all of the late songs "are finely structured and eloquent" to quote Eric Sams (The Songs of Hugo Wolf).
Hugo Wolf (1860-1903)
"Morgenstimmung" (Morning Mood)
Poem by Robert Reinick
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone)
Gerald Moore (piano)
"Morgenstimmung" (1896)
Bald ist der Nacht ein End' gemacht,
Schon fühl' ich Morgenlüfte wehen.
Der Herr, der spricht: »Es werde Licht!«
Da muß, was dunkel ist, vergehen.
Vom Himmelszelt durch alle Welt
Die Engel freudejauchzend fliegen;
Der Sonne Strahl durchflammt das All.
Herr, laß uns kämpfen, laß uns siegen!
Robert Reinick (1805-1852)
"Morning Mood"
Soon night will reach its end;
already I feel the morning breezes blowing.
The Lord, he says: "Let there be light!"
Then all that is dark must disappear.
From Heaven's vault through all the world
the angels fly, cheering with joy;
rays of sunlight blaze through the universe.
Lord, let us struggle, let us win!
Translation: Emily Ezust
