Johannes Brahms composed some of the best loved
orchestral and choral music of the 19th century. He
also wrote lots of wonderful music for more intimate
settings, including many songs and short piano pieces.

Premiered Sunday June 26, 2022 as part of Byron Schenkman & Friends Season 9 Virtual Concert Series https://byronandfriends.org/

Johannes Brahms “Lullaby” op.49, no.4

Hailey McAvoy, voice
Byron Schenkman, piano

Poet: Georg Scherer

Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht,
Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Näglein besteckt
Schlupf ’ unter die Deck’.
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will,
Wirst du wieder geweckt.

Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht,
Von Englein bewacht!
Die zeigen im Traum
Dir Christkindleins Baum:
Schlaf’ nun selig und süß,
Schau im Traum’s Paradies.

Translator: Richard Stokes

Good evening, good night,
Canopied with roses,
Bedecked with carnations,
Slip beneath the coverlet.
Tomorrow morning, if God wills,
You shall be woken again.

Good evening, good night,
Watched over by angels!
In your dreams they’ll show you
The Christmas Tree:
Sleep sweetly now and blissfully,
Behold Paradise in your dreams

Filmed May 19 & 20, 2022 at Epiphany Parish of Seattle
