The Salt Lake Vocal Artists join with Der Junge Chor Aachen and Modus Novus (conducted by Fritz ter Wey) to perform "Kein schöner Land" by Wilhem von Zuccalmaglio (1840) arranged by Wolfram Buchenberg live in concert on June 11, 2015 in Kirche Heilig Geist, Aachen, Germany under the direction of Dr. Brady Allred.
German Text:
Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit
als hier das unsre weit und breit
wo wir uns finden
wohl unter Linden
zur Abendszeit.
Da haben wir so manche Stund´
gesessen da in froher Rund
Und taten singen
die Lieder klingen
im Eichengrund.
Daß wir uns hier in diesem Tal
noch treffen so viel hundertmal
Gott mag es schenken
Gott mag es lenken
er hat die Gnad.
Nun Brüder eine gute Nacht
der Herr im hohen Himmel wacht
in seiner Güte
uns zu behüten
ist er bedacht.
English Translation:
No country more beautiful in this time,
as ours here, both far and near,
where we feel well under the lime trees
at eventide.
Many hours we have spent here together,
sitting in a happy round,
singing together, the songs ringing
through the deep oak glades
God grant that we may meet again
many hundred times here in this valley
may God grant us this, may God make it happen,
in his mercy.
Now, brothers, good night,
the Lord high in his Heaven is watching over us
In his goodness, he intends to protect us.
