{{Lang|de|Abendzauber}} (Evening magic), WAB 57, is a song composed by Anton Bruckner in 1878.

History

Bruckner composed the song on a text of Heinrich von der Mattig on 13 January 1878. He dedicated it to Carl Almeroth. The piece was not performed during the composer's life, because of its performance difficulties (humming voices). It was first performed in 1911 by Viktor Keldorfer with the Wiener Männergesang-Verein (Vienna men's choral association), and was thereafter published by the Universal Edition.^[1] It was very popular with Austrian choirs during the interbellum.

The work, of which the original manuscript is stored in the archive of the Wiener Männergesang-Verein,^[1] is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 29 of the {{lang|de|Gesamtausgabe}}.^[2]

Text

Abendzauber uses a text by Heinrich von der Mattig.

{{Lang>de|Der See träumt zwischen Felsen,

Es flüstert sanft der Hain.

Den Bergeshang beleuchtet

Des Mondes Silberschein.

Und aus dem Waldesdunkel

Hallt Nachtigallensang,

Und von dem See weh’n Lieder

Mit zauberhaftem Klang.

Ich saß am Seegestade,

Vertieft in süßen Traum;

Da träumte ich zu schweben

Empor zum Himmelsraum.

Wer könnte je vergessen

Den wonnevollen Ort!

Noch tief im Herzen klingen

Die Zaubertöne fort.}}

The lake dreams between rocks,

The forest whispers gently.

The mountain slope is lit

By the silvery light of the moon.

From the darkness of the forest,

Sounds the song of the nightingale,

And from the lake, songs float

With enchanting sound.

I sat at the lakeshore,

Lost in sweet dream;

I dreamed to hover

Aloft to Heaven's realm.

Who could ever forget

This delightful place!

Deep in my heart

The enchanting tones still sound.

Music

The 82-bar long work in G-flat major is scored for {{abbr|TTBB|tenor and bass}} choir, tenor or baritone soloist. Similarly to Das hohe Lied, the first part (58 bars) is sung by the soloist with an accompaniment of humming voices. From "Wer könnte je vergessen", the melody is taken over by the choir. In addition, four horns are figuring Alphorns, and a Ferngesang (chant from a distance) of female voices is figuring yodelers.^[1]

The song, which is in the line of Mitternacht, WAB 80, and the two settings of Um Mitternacht (WAB 89 and 90), is a remarkable example of nature imagery.^[3] Bruckner's specialist Ernst Kurth considers this original, somewhat odd piece as one Bruckner's most romantic works.^[1]
