Litanei auf das Fest aller Seelen

Schubert setting of a poem by Johann Georg Jacobi (1740-1814). A Litany for the feast of All Saints. Mezzo-Soprano: Janet Baker. Rest in peace, all souls who have had done with anxious torment, who have had done with sweet dreams who, sated with life and hardly born, have departed from this world: all souls rest in peace! Maiden souls, full of love, whose tears cannot be counted, who have abandoned a false friend and have disowned the blind world; all who have parted from here, all souls rest in peace! And those who never smiled at the sun, keeping watch on the thorns beneath the moon, to see God in the pure heavenly light and look him just once in the face: all who have parted from here, all souls rest in peace!
