Шаблон:Lang ("The noble heart"), WAB 65, is a song composed by Anton Bruckner in Шаблон:Circa during his stay in St. Florian.
History
Bruckner composed this work on a text of Ernst Marinelli in Шаблон:Circa during his stay in St. Florian. He composed it for the name day of Johann Nepomuk Paulitsch, a member of the St. Florian choir. It is not known whether the work was performed during Bruckner's life.[1][2]
The original manuscript, which became in-between lost, was found in the legacy of Bruckner's friend Rudolf Weinwurm.[1] A sketch of it is archived at the Abbey of St. Florian.[2] It was performed in 1988 by the Wagner Society Male Choir, Keio University, Tokyo,[3] and, thereafter, in 1994 in the Connecticut College.[2]
The work, which was first issued in Band II/2, pp. 111–113, of the Göllerich/Auer biography,[1][2] is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 7 of the Шаблон:Lang.[4]
Bruckner composed a second setting on the same text for mixed choir (WAB 66) in 1857.[1][2]
Text
Das edle Herz uses a text by Ernst Marinelli.
| <poem>Шаблон:Lang</poem> | <poem>Whoever feeds in his chest not only the flame
Of his own altar, Whoever turns his glance of noble love Happily to his brother, Whoever does not believe to be born by himself, But believes in his Creator, Who never lost this creed, Who never robbed others of it, Whoever lays the value of his own belongings Willingly in needy hands, Who passes the noble gift of his knowledge Also in the heart of others, Whoever is aware that blessing and giving mean the joy of his life, To him sounds with bliss Thankful praise from the soul.</poem> |
