Toelzer Knabenchor Mozart Trio - For Music Lovers

submitted by thepinky

1 decade 6 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

If you guys appreciate how amazing and beautiful this is, I'll love you forever. Best part at 2:45! Alexander Lischke (14 years old) sings Mozart with Andreas and Christian (last names?), all of them singers in Toelzer Knabenchor. It's all good, but my favorite part comes at about 2:45. And Alexander goes slightly flat on the last note, sadly.

From Amazon.com:

"Liebes Mandel" is a succinct comic masterpiece for three voices and string quartet, based on a simple real-life situation (what better basis for a text?) in which Mozart and Constanze search in vain for a lost ribbon (possibly a garter-belt) which is finally found by friend Gottfried von Jacquin. The closing heroics of "pretty pretty ribbon...we've got it, yes!" make for umatched operatic parody.

And here is the text, thanks to Mozartgeist
CONSTANZE ( soprano / treble .....Alexander)
Liebes Mandel, wo is's Bandel? ------------- Dear little husband, where's the ribbon?

MOZART ( bass .... tenor on left)
Drin im Zimmer glänzt's mit Schimmer. --- Inside, in the room, it's glistening and glittering.

CONSTANZE
Zind' du mir! --------------------------------- Put the light on for me.

MOZART
Ja, ja, ich bin schon hier, ------------------- Yes, yes, I am here already
Und bin schon ad. ---------------------------- and I am there already.

JACQUIN ( bass- singer on right)
Ei was TEFL tun die suchen, --------------- Why, what the devil are you looking for?
Ein Stück Brodel? od'r ein Kuchen? ------- A piece of bread? Or a cake?

JACQUIN
Das ist zu keck! ------------------------------ That is going too far!

Was ihr sucht euch zu befragen? ------------ to ask what you are looking for?

Ja, dem muß man nichts verhehlen --------- No, there's no need to hid anything from him.
Sondern alles klar erzählen. ------------------ but we'll tell it all clearly to him.

JACQUIN

Nu, laßt einmal hören, nu so laßt hören. -- Now, let's hear then, now, let's hear!
Eiu flucht, laßt einmal hören ------------------ Damn it, let's hear then,
Od'r ihr könnet euch alle zwei ---------------- or you can both go

CONSTANZE , MOZART
Lieber Jung', aus Dank barkeit --------------- My dear boy, out of gratitude
Werd ich dich lieben allezeit! ----------------- I shall always be attached to you.

JACQUIN
Halt's die Zung'! ich hab nicht Zeit, ---------- Say nothing! I haven't the time.
Es ist schon spät, ich muß noch weit. ------ It is too late already, I have a long way to go.

CONSTANZE , MOZART , JACQUIN
