History
On 16 October 1881, the Deutsche Zeitung invited submissions for a text für eines sangbares Nationallied (for a singable national hymn). From 1,750 texts entered, Josef Winter's was awarded the first prize. On 1 January 1882 a second invitation appeared for a Hymne für das Deutsche Volk in Österreich (Hymn for the German People in Austria), for men's choir as well as for voice and piano. Bruckner, as one of the 1,320 participants, sent a sample of both settings. No prize was awarded for any of the submissions.[1][2]
The manuscripts are stored in the archive of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek and the Bibliothèque nationale de Paris.[1] The two settings were first published in Band III/2, pp. 191 and 192 of the Göllerich/Auer biography.[2] The setting for voice and piano is issued in Band XXIII/1, No. 6 of the Gesamtausgabe.[3] The setting for men's choir is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 32 of the Gesamtausgabe.[3]
Lyrics
The song uses Josef Winter's lyrics:
Anheben lasst uns allzusamm'
Ein Lied von starkem Klange,
In Österreich den deutschen Stamm
Lasst preisen uns mit Sange.
Die auf die Ostmark einst gestellt,
Dem Feind den Weg zu weisen,
Sie stehen heute noch im Feld
Und halten blank ihr Eisen.
|
Let us raise together
A song of powerful sound,
Let us sing praise
To the German tribe in Austria.
Those, once positioned on the Eastern march
To show the enemies the way,
They still stand today in the field
And hold their weapon readily. |
