English version here • In This Sweet Summerti...
Text by Paul Gerhardt (1653), translated to Swedish (from German) by Joachim von Düben (1708-1786)
I denna ljuva sommartid
gå ut, min själ, och gläd dig vid
den store Gudens gåvor.
Se, hur i prydning jorden står,
se, hur för dig och mig hon får
så underbara håvor.
Av rika löv är grenen full,
och jorden täckt sin svarta mull
med sköna gröna kläder.
De fagra blommors myckenhet
med större prakt och härlighet
än Salomos dig gläder.
När jag hör trastens klara sång,
när lärkan jublar dagen lång
högt ovan fält och backar,
då kan jag icke tiga still.
Min Gud, så länge jag är till
för livet jag dig tackar.
English Translation (from German) by Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) (with some adaptations by the composer)
Go forth, my heart, and seek delight,
While summer reigns so fair and bright,
View Earth's abundance daily;
The beauty of these gardens see,
Behold how they for me and thee
Have decked themselves so gaily.
The trees with spreading leaves are blessed,
The earth her dusty rind has dressed
In green so young and tender.
The daffodil and tulip fair
Are clothed in raiment far more rare
Than Solomon in splendor.
The lark soars upward to the skies,
And from her cote the pigeon flies,
Her way to woodlands winging.
The silver-throated nightingale
Fills mountain, meadow, hill and vale
With her delightful singing.

This is the most exquisite piece. Beautiful, ethereal, bursting from nature, melodic, spiritual. Thanks for this great music. Tack så mycket ❤
This is a very beautiful song!
I am glad to have found this piece. I especially love the modulation from D dur to H dur at the end.
Bellisimo

Magic music. ❤
Really beautiful composition, I loved it.
This is beautiful! I love the alto part! I just joined and I'm looking forward to being a part of this!💜🎶🎵
Thank you!! I try to write interesting alto parts whenever I can! :D
Awesome composition, and a great choir performing it! Also impressive that you sing it in Swedish.
En vacker sång!
I love this work! Nice variety of textures, pleasing counterpoint, and colorful harmony that remains very clear and singable.
Thank you! I love the specific feedback!
It's really beautiful and a great composition
Thank you!
Beatifull! How can I get the score?
absolutely gorgeous! where can i get the sheet music for my choir?
I just sent it to a publisher yesterday. Should take about 3 months. If you need it before then, send me an email and we'll chat (clarklawlormusic@gmail.com)
Could you make a note in here, when it has been published, and by which publisher?

is this on spotify?
It's not. Maybe I'll have to consider it. It's really meant to be just a demo recording to sell sheet music to choirs, but they did an amazing job, didn't they?
@@clarkwilliamlawlorabsolutely, I need it on my playlist!!
beautiful piece, but i gotta ask. Why did you decide to write the score in 6/4 when the meter seems to be common time?
Good question. It certainly looks like it's in 4 through much of the piece, but the subdivisions should definitely be felt in 6. The dotted quarters have a subtle syncopated 2-against-3 feel. It becomes much less subtle once you get to m. 25 (1:20) when there is a clear 2-against-3. But you can see these subdivisions way back in mm. 3 (alto), 4, 6, 8 (soprano) and m. 9+ (tenor), and various other places.
Is there an English translation somewhere? The music is beautiful. I just don’t know what they are singing about.
@@vincientcleamons8234 There's a rough English translation in the video description
Just curious, but what happened to A Life On The Ocean Wave?
Ha ha, I'm flattered that anyone noticed! I unlisted it because I recently submitted it to a competition. I'll bring it back, but hopefully with a real recording (or at least a better MIDI one). We'll see! Stay posted.
@@clarkwilliamlawlor ah, okay thanks for letting me know
Hey, I thought I'd let you know, I posted a better version of Life on the Ocean Wave. ua-cam.com/video/XbUGgp3F_sE/v-deo.html. It's still just MIDI, but with a better sound library. It's still unlisted currently because I'm thinking about just getting it recorded soon, but I haven't decided.
