                Currently listening to Beethoven's 3rd symphony by Gardiner.

                    Whatever has been playing on his radio all morning. I've been working on homework all morning and not paying much attention, so I have no idea what I heard. It was great though!

                          His Triple Concerto has just been on...now WoO 129: Der Wachtelschlag has just been on(1803), which I am trying to figure out the meaning- Wachtel is quail and schlag is hit ....so it is something like Hit the quail?!


                          I am assuming this is an amusing lied- the intonation of the siger hints at something amusing to my poor British ears hehe..

                            Ok got that wrong! Not sure it is meant to be amusing- but I find it quaint. At least I knew it is about a quail!

                            Der Wachtelschlag



                            Ach! mir schallt's dorten so lieblich hervor:
                            Fürchte Gott, fürchte Gott!
                            Ruft mir die Wachtel ins Ohr.
                            Sitzend im Grünen, von Halmen umhüllt,
                            Mahnt sie dem Horcher im Saatengefild:
                            Liebe Gott, liebe Gott!
                            Er ist so gütig, so mild.

                            Wieder bedeutet ihr hüpfender Schlag:
                            Lobe Gott, lobe Gott!
                            Der dich zu lohnen vermag.
                            Siehst du die herrlichen Früchte im Feld?
                            Nimm es zu Herzen, Bewohner der Welt:
                            Danke Gott, danke Gott!
                            Der dich ernährt und erhält.

                            Schreckt dich im Wetter der Herr der Natur:
                            Bitte Gott, bitte Gott!
                            Ruft sie, er schonet die Flur.
                            Machen Gefahren der Krieger dir bang:
                            [Tröstet mich wieder der Wachtelgesang:]2
                            Traue Gott, traue Gott!
                            Sieh', er verziehet nicht lang.



                            The cry of the quail
                            English translation



                            Oh! From over there so sweetly it resounds:
                            Fear God, fear God!
                            The quail cries in my ear.
                            Sitting in the greenery, wrapped in stems;
                            It entreats the listener in shady realms:
                            Love God, love God!
                            He is so gentle, so kind.

                            Again it tells us in a lively cry:
                            Praise God, praise God!
                            He is able to give you the worthwhile.
                            Do you see the wonderful fruits in the field?
                            Take this to heart, people of the world:
                            Thank God, thank God!
                            Who feeds and keeps you.

                            He frightens you in the storm, The Lord of Nature:
                            Plead with God, plead with God!
                            It calls; he spares the fields.
                            If the threats of warriors make you anxious:
                            [Comfort it brings me again, the song of the quail:]
                            Trust in God, trust in God!
                            Look, he will not turn away from you for long.

                              Beautiful poem. Seems maybe he was inspired by Matthew 6:26:
                              Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
