{{Lang|de|Der Abendhimmel}} ("The evening sky"), WAB 55, is a song composed by Anton Bruckner in 1862.

History

Bruckner composed this first setting of "evening song" Der Abendhimmel in January 1862. He used for the composition a text of Joseph Christian von Zedlitz, which he will also use for a second setting of the song in 1866. Bruckner dedicated the song to the men's quartet Anton Munsch (1st tenor), Anton Stiefler (2nd tenor), Eduard Benoni (1st bass) and Mathias Weissmann (2nd bass).^[1]^[2]

The piece was performed first in a transcription for men's choir by the Liedertafel Frohsinn on 4 July 1900. The commentator of the {{lang|de|Linzer Zeitung}} (7 July 1900) wrote over a {{lang|de|eine herrliche Schöpfung unseres heimischen Meisters Dr. Anton Bruckner}} (a wonderful composition of our national master Dr. Anton Bruckner).^[1]

The original manuscript is stored in the archive of Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.^[1]^[3] It was first issued in Band III/2, pp. 18–20 of the Göllerich/Auer biography.^[1]^[3] It is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 15 of the {{lang|de|Gesamtausgabe}}.^[4]

Text

Der Abendhimmel is using a text of Joseph Christian von Zedlitz.

{{Lang>de|Wenn ich an deiner Seite

Im Abenddunkel geh’,

Den Mond und sein Geleite,

Die tausend Sterne seh’,

Dann möchte ich den Mond umfangen

Und drücken an meine Brust,

Die Sterne herunterlangen

In voller, seliger Lust,

Mit ihnen die Locken dir schmücken

Und schmücken die schöne Brust,

Ich möcht’ dich schmücken und drücken

Und sterben von Wonn’ und Lust.}}

When I walk at your side

In the evening darkness,

And see the moon and its escort

Of thousand stars,

Then I want to embrace the moon

And hug her at my breast,

Sprawl the stars down

In full blissful lust,

Decorate your locks with them

And adorn your beautiful bosom,

I could to decorate and hug you

And die of delight and lust.

Music
