German) |
Leis sinkt der Dämm'rung Schleier
Auf Wiese, Feld und Wald.
Ein Glockenton erschallt,
Und ruft zur Abendfeier.
Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria!
Du reine Jungfrau sei gegrüßt.
Die uns der Liebe Leitstern ist,
Und uns des Himmels Glück erschließt.
Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria!
Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! |
Der Liebe Stern im Abend
Erglimmt in mildem Schein,
Des müden Menschen Pein
Mit Ruhverheißung labend.
Ave, Maria!
Du Stern der Liebe hast erquickt
Das arme Herz, das Kummer drückt,
Weil's um sich her nur Nacht erblickt.
Ave, Maria! |
Das Licht ist jetzt geschieden,
Der Nachtgesang erklingt,
Und süßer Schlummer bringt
[Dem] Müden Ruh' und Frieden.
Ave, Maria!
Maria, Born des Friedens du,
Führ' gnädig uns dem Himmel zu,
Zur Ruh', zur ew'gen Ruh'.
Ave, Maria |
| English translation lyrics from score #2:
|
The veil of eve is fal-ling
O'er wood-land, field and plain.
A bell, with dy-ing strain,
to eve-ning rest is cal-ling.
A bell, with dy-ing strain,
to eve-ning rest is cal-ling.
A-ve Ma-ri-a, A-ve Ma-ri-a.
Thou spot-less mai-den, hail to thee,
that deign'st our gui-ding star to be,
to point to hea-ven's, hea-ven's fe-li-ci-ty,
to thee all Hail, all hail!
A-ve Ma-ri-a, a-ve Ma-ri-a.
A-ve Ma-ri-a, a-ve Ma-ri-a. |

Abt Franz song writer and conductor
b Eilenburg Dec 22 1819 d Wiesbaden Mar 31 1885
He was sent to the Leipzig Thoraasschule to study theology his father being
a clergyman and later obtained an excellent musical education both there and
at the Univ On his father's death he gave up theology having already made
several successful attempts at composition and having conducted a students
philharmonic society In 1841 he went to Bernburg as Kapellm of the Court Th
but in the same year relinquished this post for a similar one at the Zurich
Th Here he remained till lS52 conducting several singing societies and
composing many vocal works particularly for men's voices He was then app 2nd
Kapellm at Brunswick 3 years later becoming 1st Kapellm a position held up
to 1882 when he retired to Wiesbaden.
Abt wrote over 500 works comprising more than 3,000 numbers the largest are
the 7 secular cantatas His popularity as a song writer is due chiefly to the
flowing easy and elegant style of his vocal melodies many of which Wenn die
Schwalben heimwarts zieh n Cute Nacht du mein herziges Kind So viele tausend
Blumen etc have become true folk songs numerous part songs are likewise
deservedly prime favorites in these and his choruses for men's and for
women's voices he rivals Mendelssohn in the hearts of his countrymen On his
vocal works rests his lasting fame; his pf compositions of a light and
popular character are already forgotten |
