"Sommerlied" by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy • Washington Men's Camerata

Romantic-era, German composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847) composed “Sommerlied” to Johann Georg Jacobi’s “Im Sommer.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mistakenly included this poem in his 1815 works leading to misattribution! Washington Men's Camerata directed by Scott Tucker, May 2025 in DC. GERMAN TEXT Wie Feld und Au so blinkend im Tau, wie perlenschwer die Pflanzen umher! Wie durch’s Gebuesch die Winde so Frisch! Wie laut im hellen Sonnenstrahl die suessen Voeglein allzumal! Ach, aber da wo Liebchen ich sah, im Kaemmerlein, so nieder und klein, so rings bedeck, der Sonne versteckt: wo blieb die Erde weit und breit, mit aller ihrer Herrlichkeit! ENGLISH TRANSLATION (Summer Song) How the fields and meadows glisten with dew, how laden with pearls the surrounding plants! How through the bushes the wind blows with such freshness! How everywhere in the bright sunshine, sweet little birds loudly sing! Alas, when I saw my honey in her small and simple room, hidden from everything, away from the sun: where is the expansive universe with all its magnificence?
