Vier ernste Gesänge (Four Serious Songs) - arr. Susa

Prediger Salomo, Kap. 3:19–22

Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh; wie dies stirbt, so stirbt er auch; und haben alle einerlei Odem; und der Mensch hat nichts mehr denn das Vieh: denn es ist alles eitel. Es fährt alles an einem Ort; es ist alles von Staub gemacht, und wird wieder zu Staub.

Wer weiß, ob der Geist des Menschen aufwärts fahre, und der Odem des Viehes unterwärts unter die Erde fahre? Darum sahe ich, daß nichts bessers ist, denn daß der Mensch fröhlich sei in seiner Arbeit, denn das ist sein Teil. Denn wer will ihn dahin bringen, daß er sehe, was nach ihm geschehen wird?

Prediger Salomo, Kap. 4:1–3

Ich wandte mich und sahe an alle, die Unrecht leiden unter der Sonne; und siehe, da waren Tränen derer die Unrecht litten, und hatten keinen Tröster; und die ihnen Unrecht täten waren zu mächtig, daß sie keinen Tröster haben konnten. Da lobte ich die Toten, die schon gestorben waren, mehr als die Lebendigen, die noch das Leben hatten, und der noch nicht ist, ist besser, als alle beide, und des Bösen nicht inne wird, das unter der Sonne geschieht.

Prediger Salomo, Kap. 41

O Tod, wie bitter bist du, wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch, der gute Tage und genug hat und ohne Sorge lebet; und dem es wohl geht in allen Dingen und noch wohl essen mag!

O Tod, wie bitter bist du.

O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen, der da schwach und alt ist, der in allen Sorgen steckt, und nichts Bessers zu hoffen, noch zu erwarten hat!

O Tod, wie wohl tust du!

Ecclesiastes 3:19–22

One thing befalleth the beasts and the sons of men: the beast must die, the man dieth also, yea, both must die; to beasts and man one breath is given, and the man is not above the beast; for all things are but vanity. They all go to the self same place, for they all are of the dust, and to dust they return. Who knoweth if a man’s spirit goeth upwards? And who knoweth if the spirit of the beast goeth downward into the earth?

Therefore I percieve there is no better thing than for a man to rejoice in his own works: for that is his portion. For who shall ever show him, what will happen after him?

Ecclesiastes 4:1–3

So I returned and did consider all the oppressions done beneath the sun. And there was weeping, weeping and wailing; wailing of those that were oppressed and had no comfort; for with their oppressors there was power, so that no one came to comfort them. Then I did praise the dead which are already dead, yea, more than the living which still in life linger, yea, he that is not is better than dead or living; for he doth not, know of the evil that is wrought for ever on earth.

Sirach 41

O death, how bitter art thou unto him that dwelleth in peace, to him that hath joy in his possessions, and liveth free from trouble, to him whose ways are prosperous in all things, to him that still may eat!

O death, how bitter art thou! O death, how welcome thy call to him that is in want and whose strength doth fail him, and whose life is full of cares, who hath nothing to hope for, and can not look for relief!

O death, how welcome is thy call!

S. Pauli an die Corinther I, Kap 13: 1–3, 12–13

Wenn ich mit Menschen - und mit Engelszungen redete, und hätte der Liebe nicht, so wär ich ein tönend Erz, oder eine klingende Schelle. Und wenn ich weissagen könnte und wüßte alle Geheimnisse und alle Erkenntnis; und hätte allen Glauben, also, daß ich Berge versetzte; und hätte der Liebe nicht, so wäre ich nichts. Und wenn ich alle meine Habe den Armen gäbe, und ließe meinen Leib brennen; und hätte der Liebe nicht, so wäre mir’s nichts nütze. Wenn aber kommen wird das Vollkommene, so wird das Stückwerk aufhören.

1 Corinthians 13: 1–3, 12–13

Though I speak with the tongues of men, and of the angels, and have not charity, then am I become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I can prophesy, and understand all mysteries, and am great in all knowledge, and though I have the gift of faith and can move the mountains, and have not charity, yet am I nothing worth.

And though I give my worldly goods to feed the poor, and though I also give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. But when that which is perfect is come, so the piece shall be done away.

Da ich ein Kind war, da redete ich wie ein Kind und war klug wie ein Kind und hatte kindische Anschläge; da ich aber ein Mann ward, tat ich ab, was kindisch war. Wir sehen jetzt durch einen Spiegel in einem dunkeln Worte; dann aber von Angesicht zu Angesichte. Jetzt erkenne ich’s stückweise; dann aber werde ich’s erkennen, gleich wie ich erkennet bin.

Nun aber bleibet Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe, diese drei; aber die Liebe ist die größeste unter ihnen.

Since I was a child, I talked like a child, I reasoned like a child and had childish attacks; I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, Darkly, but then face to face.

For now we see through a glass but darkly, but then we shall see face to face.

Now I only in part do know, but then I shall surely know even as also I am known. Now abideth faith, and hope, and charity, these three; but the greatest of them all is charity.

Arranger’s Notes

What does a chorus do after they perform the Alto Rhapsody? Answer: Four Serious Songs This arrangement includes the original piano accompaniment by Brahms.

—Conrad Susa (edited)

Editor’s Notes

To remain true to the original Brahms solo vocal editions, the arranger had but one choral dynamic marking in the entire set of four songs; a (mf) at the beginning. After the arranger’s death, I changed that marking and added logical dynamics in the choral staves throughout. I did this to facilitate rehearsals.

As this is choral and not solo vocal music, I also added cautionary accidentals in all staves to assist the singers with their pitches.
