Introduction

"Morgen!" ("Tomorrow!") is the last in a set of four songs composed in 1894 by the German composer Richard Strauss. It is designated Opus 27, Number 4.

The German love poem "Morgen!" which is the text of the song was written by Strauss's contemporary, John Henry Mackay, who was of partly Scottish descent but brought up in Germany.

History

Strauss had met Mackay in Berlin, and set Morgen! to music on 21 May 1894. It was one of his four Lieder Opus 27, a wedding present to his wife Pauline. Initially, he set the accompaniment for piano alone, and for piano with violin. In 1897 he arranged the piece for orchestra with violin solo.

"Morgen!" remains one of Strauss's best-known and most widely recorded works. Strauss himself recorded it in 1919 accompanying the tenor Robert Hutt on the piano, and again in 1941 conducting the orchestral version with tenor Julius Patzak and the Bavarian State Orchestra.[2] His last recording of it was 11 June 1947, a live broadcast on radio with Strauss conducting the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana and soprano Annette Brun.

Lyrics

Richard Strauss, Morgen, op.27 No.4       理察. 史特劳斯:明天

Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen, 而明天,太阳将再度闪耀,
Und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde,        那条我将踏上的道路,
Wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen,   对喜悦的我们来说,将再度
Inmitten dieser sonnenatmenden Erde…       融入这呼吸着阳光的大地…

Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen,      我们将缓缓地,静默地走向海,
Werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen,  那辽远的,波动着蓝光的海,
Stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen, 我们将彼此凝望,不发一语,
Und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen…    朝我们沉落的,是喜悦的静谧…

(John Henry Mackay 1864-1933)  ( 紫蓉 译 )
