Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) composed the volume of sevensongs entitled Gypsy Songs,Op. 55, for the excellent German tenor Gustav Walter (1834-1910), a member ofthe Wiener Hofoper (Vienna Court Opera). He thus wrote them to the German translations of poems adapted for him by their author, Czech poet Adolf Hejduk. The original Simrock edition from 1880 only came with a text in German; a further edition from 1881 now contained Czech and English versions. The songs proved to be extremely popular withsingersand audiences alike; the fourth one (Songs my mother taught me)became one ofthe most famous of its kind in the world repertoire. In this volume, the songsaretransposed for upper voices (soprano/tenor). The vocal text is here publishedinits Czech, English and German versions. This title was published as part of the Complete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak. Má pÃsen zas mi láskou znà / Mein Lied ertönt, ein Liebespsalm / My song of love rings thourgh the dusk Aj ! Kterak trojhranec muj prerozkosne zvonà / ei, wei mein Triangel wunderherrlich läutet / Hey! Ring out, my triangle A les je tichy kolem kol / Rings ist der Wald so stumm und still / All round about the woods are still Kdyz mne stará matka / Als die alte Mutter / When my mother taught me Struna naladena / Reingestimmt die Saiten / Come and join the dancing Siroke rukávy / In dem weiten, breiten, luft'gen Leinenkleide / Wide the sleeves and trousers Dejte klec jestrábu / Horstet hoch der Habicht auf den Felsenhöhen / Give a hawk a fine cage
