{{lang|de|Mitternacht}} (Midnight), WAB 80, is a song composed by Anton Bruckner in 1869.

History

Bruckner composed the song on a text of Joseph Mendelssohn in November 1869, for the 25th anniversary of Linz Liedertafel Frohsinn. The piece was performed on 15 May 1870 by Frohsinn in the {{lang|de|Volksfesthalle}} in Linz.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The work, of which the original manuscript is stored in the archive of Liedertafel Frohsinn,^[1] was first issued by Doblinger in 1903. It was reissued in 1911 by Viktor Keldorfer (Universal Edition), together with the two other Bruckner's "night-songs" (Um Mitternacht, WAB 89 and WAB 90). The song is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 25 of the {{lang|de|Gesamtausgabe}}.^[4]

Text

Um Mitternacht uses a text by Joseph Mendelssohn.

{{Lang>de|Die Blumen glüh’n im Mondenlicht

Der märchenschönen Mitternacht,

Im Baume unten, blütendicht,

Der Sterne Glanz sich flimmernd bricht,

Sie kosen mit der Blätterpracht

Im süßen Zauber der Mitternacht.

Die Lüfte geh’n so weich, so hehr

Wie ferner Dome Glockenklang;

Mir ist das Herz so andachtschwer,

Es rauscht um mich wie Gotteslehr’,

Wie Orgelton und Feiersang

Im süßen Zauber der Mitternacht.}}

The flowers glow in the moonlight

Of the fairy and beautiful midnight,

In the tree below, with dense flowers,

The stars' sparkle breaks flickering,

They embrace the finery of the leaves

In the sweet enchantment of midnight.

The air go so softly, so high

Like the sound of the bells of distant cathedrals;

My heart is heavy in devotion,

It rustles around me like Gods teaching,

Like organ sound and festive song

In the sweet enchantment of midnight.

Music

The 84-bar long work in A-flat major is scored for {{abbr|TTBB|tenor and bass}} choir, tenor soloist and piano. Strophe 1 is sung by the choir with an ostinato of the piano. In strophe 2, bars 49-58 ({{lang|de|Mir ist das Herz so andachtschwer}}), the soloist is singing with accompaniment of the choir and unison lines of sixteenth notes of the piano. The piece is ending pianissimo.^[2] ^[1]
