Même si ce jour-là il faisait du soleil au sommet du Puy de Dôme, la températur n'en resait pas moins assez frisquette : témoin ce bloc de glace.
Cette photo, un peu en trompe-l'oeil pourrait laisser croire que le Puy de Dôme présente des arêtes et a-pics comme dans les plus hautes montagnes. Il n'en est rien !
Mais cela n'enlève rien à la beauté des panoramas que l'on peut admirer depuis le sommet.
Here a little sham might suggest that the Puy de Dôme has ridges and cliffs as in the highest mountains. There is nothing !
But this does not detract from the beauty of the views that can be admired from the top.
Hier könnte ein wenig Schein vermuten, dass die Puy de Dôme hat Grate und Klippen wie in den höchsten Bergen. Es gibt nichts !
Aber das heißt nicht von der Schönheit der Ansichten, die von oben bewundern kann ablenken.
Aquí un poco de farsa podría sugerir que el Puy de Dôme tiene crestas y acantilados como en las montañas más altas. No hay nada !
Pero esto no resta valor a la belleza de las vistas que se pueden admirar desde la parte superior.
Jen iom sham povus sugesti , ke la Puy de Dôme havas krestoj kaj klifoj , kiel en la plej altaj montoj. Tie estas nenio!
Sed ĉi tio ne detraen la beleco de la opiniojn , ke oni povas admiri de la supro.
Ecco un po 'di farsa potrebbe suggerire che il Puy de Dôme ha creste e scogliere come nelle più alte montagne. Non vi è nulla !
Ma questo non toglie nulla alla bellezza dei panorami che si possono ammirare dalla cima.
Aqui um pouco de farsa pode sugerir que o Puy de Dôme tem cumes e falésias como nas montanhas mais altas. Não há nada !
Mas isso não diminui a beleza das vistas que podem ser admiradas a partir do topo.

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (often called Led Zeppelin IV). It is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.The song has three sections, each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume. The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments (guitar and recorders) before introducing electric instruments. The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement highlighted by Page's intricate guitar solo accompanying Plant's vocals that end with the plaintive a cappella line: "And she's buying a stairway to heaven"."Stairway to Heaven" was voted in 2000 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs,and was placed at number 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s, despite never having been officially released as a single there.[8] In November 2007, through download sales promoting Led Zeppelin's Mothership release, "Stairway to Heaven" hit No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.The recording of "Stairway to Heaven" commenced in December 1970 at Island Records' new Basing Street Studios in London. The song was completed by the addition of lyrics by Plant during the sessions for Led Zeppelin IV at Headley Grange, Hampshire, in 1971.Page then returned to Island Studios to record his guitar solo.The song originated in 1970 when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were spending time at Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote cottage in Wales, following Led Zeppelin's fifth American concert tour. According to Page, he wrote the music "over a long period, the first part coming at Bron-Yr-Aur one night".Page always kept a cassette recorder around, and the idea for "Stairway" came together from bits of taped music:I had these pieces, these guitar pieces, that I wanted to put together. I had a whole idea of a piece of music that I really wanted to try and present to everybody and try and come to terms with. Bit difficult really, because it started on acoustic, and as you know it goes through to the electric parts. But we had various run-throughs [at Headley Grange] where I was playing the acoustic guitar and jumping up and picking up the electric guitar. Robert was sitting in the corner, or rather leaning against the wall, and as I was routining the rest of the band with this idea and this piece, he was just writing. And all of a sudden he got up and started singing, along with another run-through, and he must have had 80% of the words there ... I had these sections, and I knew what order they were going to go in, but it was just a matter of getting everybody to feel comfortable with each gear shift that was going to be coming.Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones recalled this presentation of the song to him following its genesis at Bron-Yr-Aur:Page and Plant would come back from the Welsh mountains with the guitar intro and verse. I literally heard it in front of a roaring fire in a country manor house! I picked up a bass recorder and played a run-down riff which gave us an intro, then I moved into a piano for the next section, dubbing on the guitars.In an interview he gave in 1977, Page elaborated:I do have the original tape that was running at the time we ran down "Stairway To Heaven" completely with the band. I'd worked it all out already the night before with John Paul Jones, written down the changes and things. All this time we were all living in a house and keeping pretty regular hours together, so the next day we started running it down. There was only one place where there was a slight rerun. For some unknown reason Bonzo couldn't get the timing right on the twelve-string part before the solo. Other than that it flowed very quickly.The first attempts at lyrics, written by Robert Plant next to an evening log fire at Headley Grange, were partly spontaneously improvised and Page claimed, "a huge percentage of the lyrics were written there and then".Jimmy Page was strumming the chords and Robert Plant had a pencil and paper. Plant later said that suddenly,My hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady is sure [sic], all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven'. I just sat there and looked at them and almost leapt out of my seat." Plant's own explanation of the lyrics was that it "was some cynical aside about a woman getting everything she wanted all the time without giving back any thought or consideration. The first line begins with that cynical sweep of the hand ... and it softened up after that.The lyrics of the song reflected Plant's current reading. The singer had been poring over the works of the British antiquarian Lewis Spence, and later cited Spence's Magic Arts in Celtic Britain as one of the sources for the lyrics to the song.In November 1970, Page dropped a hint of the new song's existence to a music journalist in London:It's an idea for a really long track.... You know how "Dazed and Confused" and songs like that were broken into sections? Well, we want to try something new with the organ and acoustic guitar building up and building up, and then the electric part starts.... It might be a fifteen-minute track.Page stated that the song "speeds up like an adrenaline flow". He explained:Going back to those studio days for me and John Paul Jones, the one thing you didn't do was speed up, because if you sped up you wouldn't be seen again. Everything had to be right on the meter all the way through. And I really wanted to write something which did speed up, and took the emotion and the adrenaline with it, and would reach a sort of crescendo. And that was the idea of it. That's why it was a bit tricky to get together in stages.The complete studio recording was released on Led Zeppelin IV in November 1971. The band's record label, Atlantic Records was keen to issue this track as a single, but the band's manager Peter Grant refused requests to do so in both 1972 and 1973. The upshot of that decision was that record buyers began to invest in the fourth album as if it were a single. In the US, Atlantic issued "Stairway to Heaven" as a 7" promotional single in 1972.The song consists of several distinct sections, beginning with a quiet introduction on a finger-picked six-string guitar and four recorders in a Renaissance music style (ending at 2:15) and gradually moving into a slow electric middle section (2:16–5:33), then a long guitar solo (5:34–6:44), before the faster hard rock final section (6:45 to 7:45), ending with a short vocals-only epilogue. Plant sings the opening, middle and epilogue sections in his mid vocal range, but sings the hard rock section in his higher range which borders on falsetto.Written in the key of A minor, the song opens with an arpeggiated, finger-picked guitar chord progression with a chromatic descending bassline A-G#-G-F#-F. John Paul Jones contributed overdubbed wooden bass recorders in the opening section (he used a Mellotron and, later, a Yamaha CP70B Grand Piano and Yamaha GX1 to synthesise this arrangement in live performances)[ and a Hohner Electra-Piano electric piano in the middle section.The sections build with more guitar layers, each complementary to the intro, with the drums entering at 4:18. The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)plugged into a Supro amplifier,although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could have been a Marshall, but I can't remember".Three different improvised solos were recorded, with Page agonising about deciding which to keep. Page later revealed, "I did have the first phrase worked out, and then there was the link phrase. I did check them out beforehand before the tape ran." The other guitar parts were played using a Harmony Sovereign H1260 acoustic guitar and a Fender Electric XII guitar (a 12-string guitar that was plugged directly to the soundboard); these can be heard on the left and right recording channels respectively. For live versions, Page switched to a Heritage Cherry Gibson EDS-1275 6/12 Doubleneck guitar. The final progression is a i-VII-VI (natural minor) progression (Am-G-F), a mainstay of rock music.Another interesting aspect of the song is the timing of the lead-up to the famous guitar solo. While staying in 4/4 throughout this section, most of the accents shift to the eight notes. This makes the rhythm figure challenging for some musicians, but adds a feeling of anticipation to the approaching guitar solo.Sound engineer Andy Johns recalls the circumstances surrounding the recording of Page's famous solo:I remember Jimmy had a little bit of trouble with the solo on "Stairway to Heaven"... [H]e hadn't completely figured it out. Nowadays you sometimes spend a whole day doing one thing. Back then, we never did that. We never spent a very long time recording anything. I remember sitting in the control room with Jimmy, he's standing there next to me and he'd done quite a few passes and it wasn't going anywhere. I could see he was getting a bit paranoid and so I was getting paranoid. I turned around and said "You're making me paranoid!" And he said, "No, you're making me paranoid!" It was a silly circle of paranoia. Then bang! On the next take or two he ripped it out.According to Page, "Stairway to Heaven"...crystallized the essence of the band. It had everything there and showed the band at its best... as a band, as a unit. Not talking about solos or anything, it had everything there. We were careful never to release it as a single. It was a milestone for us. Every musician wants to do something of lasting quality, something which will hold up for a long time and I guess we did it with "Stairway".[Pete] Townshend probably thought that he got it with Tommy. I don't know whether I have the ability to come up with more. I have to do a lot of hard work before I can get anywhere near those stages of consistent, total brilliance.The inaugural public performance of the song took place at Belfast's Ulster Hall on 5 March 1971.[16] Bassist John Paul Jones recalls that the crowd was unimpressed: "They were all bored to tears waiting to hear something they knew".However, Page stated about an early performance at the LA Forum, before the record had even come out, that:I'm not saying the whole audience gave us a standing ovation, but there was this sizable standing ovation there. And I thought: 'This is incredible, because no one's heard this number yet. This is the first time they're hearing it!' It obviously touched them, you know. And that was at the L.A. Forum, so I knew we were onto something with that one.The world radio premiere of "Stairway to Heaven" was recorded at the Paris Cinema on 1 April 1971, in front of a live studio audience, and broadcast three days later on the BBC..The song was performed at almost every subsequent Led Zeppelin concert, only being omitted on rare occasions when shows were cut short for curfews or technical issues. The band's final performance of the song was in Berlin on 7 July 1980, which was also their last concert until 10 Dec 2007 at London's O2 Arena; the version was the longest, lasting almost fifteen minutes, including a seven and a half-minute guitar solo.Jimmy Page used a double-necked guitar to perform "Stairway to Heaven" live.When playing the song live, the band would often extend it to over ten minutes, with Page playing an extended guitar solo and Plant adding a number of lyrical ad-libs, such as "Does anybody remember laughter?", "And I think you can see that" (as seen in the film The Song Remains the Same), "Does anybody remember forests?" (As seen on the live performance in Seattle 1977), "wait a minute!" and "I hope so". For performing this song live, Page used a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck guitar so he would not have to pause when switching from a six to a twelve string guitar.By 1975, the song had a regular place as the finale of every Led Zeppelin concert. However, after their concert tour of the United States in 1977, Plant began to tire of "Stairway to Heaven": "There's only so many times you can sing it and mean it ... It just became sanctimonious."The song was played again by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at the Live Aid concert in 1985;[ at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988, with Jason Bonham on drums; and by Jimmy Page as an instrumental version on his solo tours.By the late 1980s, Plant made his negative impression of the song clear in interviews. In 1988, he stated:I'd break out in hives if I had to sing ("Stairway to Heaven") in every show. I wrote those lyrics and found that song to be of some importance and consequence in 1971, but 17 years later, I don't know. It's just not for me. I sang it at the Atlantic Records show because I'm an old softie and it was my way of saying thank you to Atlantic because I've been with them for 20 years. But no more of "Stairway to Heaven" for me.However, by the mid-1990s Plant's views had apparently softened. The first few bars were played alone during Page and Plant tours in lieu of the final notes of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and in November 1994 Page and Plant performed an acoustic version of the song at a Tokyo news station for Japanese television. "Stairway to Heaven" was also performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007. This song is played a whole step lower.Plant cites the most unusual performance of the song ever as being that performed at Live Aid: "with two drummers (Phil Collins and Tony Thompson) while Duran Duran cried at the side of the stage – there was something quite surreal about that."Footage of the song being played live is preserved on the band's concert film The Song Remains the Same, featuring a performance from Madison Square Garden in 1973, and on the Led Zeppelin DVD, featuring a performance from Earls Court Arena in 1975. Official audio versions are also available on The Song Remains the Same's accompanying soundtrack, on Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions (a performance from London's Paris Theatre in 1971) and on How the West Was Won (a performance from the Long Beach Arena in 1972). There are also hundreds of audio versions which can be found on unofficial Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings."Stairway to Heaven" is often rated among the greatest rock songs of all time.According to music journalist Stephen Davis, although the song was released in 1971, it took until 1973 before the song's popularity ascended to truly "anthemic" status. As Page himself recalled, "I knew it was good, but I didn't know it was going to be almost like an anthem ... But I knew it was the gem of the album, sure.""Stairway to Heaven" continues to top radio lists of the greatest rock songs, including a 2006 Guitar World readers poll of greatest guitar solos.[36] On the 20th anniversary of the original release of the song, it was announced via U.S. radio sources that the song had logged up an estimated 2,874,000 radio plays – back to back, that would run for 44 years solid. As of 2000, the song had been broadcast on radio over three million times.In 1990 a St Petersburg, Florida station kicked off its all-Led Zeppelin format by playing "Stairway to Heaven" for 24 hours straight.It is also the biggest-selling single piece of sheet music in rock history, clocking up an average of 15,000 copies yearly.In total, over one million copies have been sold.[The song's length precluded its release in full form as a single.Despite pressure from Atlantic Records the band would not authorise the editing of the song for single release, making "Stairway to Heaven" one of the most well-known and popular rock songs never to have been released as a single. It did, however, appear on two promotional discs in the United States, one of them featuring the 7:55 track on each side, and the other as a 7" 331⁄3 record produced for jukebox operators with "Stairway..." on one side and both "Black Dog" and "Rock And Roll" on the other. Other "single" appearances were on an Australian EP, and in 1991 as an added bonus with a 20th anniversary promo book.The group's recording of this song also appeared as the sole Led Zeppelin track in the 1977 Atlantic Records 2-LP promotional sampler album, We've Got Your Music, marking the first time that Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" made its official debut appearance in an American-released various artists compilation collection.On the 20th anniversary of the song's release, Esquire magazine featured an article on the song's success and lasting influence. Karen Karbo wrote:It's doubtful that anyone knew it would become the most popular rock song of all time. After all, it's eight minutes long and was never released as a single. Even "Hey Jude" was shorter, was a 45, and enjoyed the benefits of comprehensible words and a sing-along chorus. But "Hey Jude" isn't the most requested song of all time on FM rock stations. Nobody ever had a "Hey Jude" theme prom or played the song at weddings and funerals like "Stairway." "Stairway" couldn't succeed today. Back in 1971, FM deejays prided themselves on digging deep into albums to come up with oddball, cultish favorites. With its near-oppressive length, erratic changes, and woo-woo lyrics, the quasi-medieval anthem was a perfect choice. It continues to be a favorite among music listeners who are younger than the song itself, listeners who, in some cases, were no doubt conceived while the tune blasted from car speakers.In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine put it at number 31 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". An article from the 29 January 2009 Guitar World magazine rated Jimmy Page's guitar solo at number one in the publication's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos in Rock and Roll History.[40] Since 2001, the New York City-based classic rock radio station Q104.3 has ranked "Stairway to Heaven" no. 1 on their annual "Top 1,043 Classic Rock Songs of All Time".Erik Davis, a social historian and cultural critic, commented on the song's massive success, subsequent backlash and enduring legendary status:"Stairway to Heaven" isn't the greatest rock song of the 1970s; it is the greatest spell of the 1970s. Think about it: we are all sick of the thing, but in some primordial way it is still number one. Everyone knows it... Even our dislike and mockery is ritualistic. The dumb parodies; the Wayne's World-inspired folklore about guitar shops demanding customers not play it; even Robert Plant's public disavowal of the song—all of these just prove the rule. "Stairway to Heaven" is not just number one. It is the One, the quintessence, the closest AOR will ever get you to the absolute.Page has himself commented on the song's legacy:The wonderful thing about "Stairway" is the fact that just about everybody has got their own individual interpretation to it, and actually what it meant to them at their point of life. And that's what's so great about it. Over the passage of years, you know, people come to me with all manner of stories about, you know, what it meant to them at certain points of their lives. About how it's got them through some really tragic circumstances ... Because it's an extremely positive song, it's such a positive energy, and, you know, people have got married to [the song].Robert Plant once gave $1,000 to listener-supported radio station KBOO in Portland, Oregon during a pledge drive after the disc jockey solicited donations by promising the station would never play "Stairway to Heaven". Plant was station-surfing in a rental car he was driving to the Oregon Coast after a solo performance in Portland and was impressed with the non-mainstream music the station presented. Asked later "why?" Plant replied that it wasn't that he didn't like the song, but he'd heard it before.Claims of backward masking.In a January 1982 television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network hosted by Paul Crouch, it was claimed that hidden messages were contained in many popular rock songs through a technique called backward masking. One example of such hidden messages that was prominently cited was in "Stairway to Heaven."The alleged message, which occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now...") when played backward, was purported to contain the Satanic references "Here's to my sweet Satan" and "I sing because I live with Satan."Following the claims made in the television program, California assemblyman Phil Wyman proposed a state law that would require warning labels on records containing backward masking. In April 1982, the Consumer Protection and Toxic Materials Committee of the California State Assembly held a hearing on backward masking in popular music, during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backward. During the hearing, William Yarroll, a self-described "neuroscientific researcher," claimed that backward messages could be deciphered by the human brain.The band itself has for the most part ignored such claims. In response to the allegations, Swan Song Records issued the statement: "Our turntables only play in one direction—forwards." Led Zeppelin audio engineer Eddie Kramer called the allegations "totally and utterly ridiculous. Why would they want to spend so much studio time doing something so dumb?"Robert Plant expressed frustration with the accusations in a 1983 interview in Musician magazine: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway to Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."

The origins of firm’s name, Parnassus Investments, is tied to Mount Parnassus. The mountain is located in central Greece, and its twin peaks rise more than 8,000 feet above sea level. The mountain plays a prominent role in Greek mythology because on its southern slope, overlooking the Gulf of Corinth, lies Delphi, site of the famous oracle. There were many oracles in ancient Greece, but only the one at Delphi achieved a record of reliability.Greek god Apollo inspired the prophesies that the Delphic oracle communicated to the people. The most “Greek” of the gods, Apollo represented enlightenment and civilization and presided over the establishment of cities. Identified with the development of Greek codes of law, Apollo was also the god of light, a master musician and a skilled archer.The oracle obtained a great deal of knowledge and information from talking to people who came from all over the Greek world to consult at the shrine of Apollo. Quite often, the oracle went against the prevailing wisdom of the time. Just like the oracle, our investment team gathers information from a wide range of sources and thinks independently of prevailing market sentiment.

A son of Cleopompus or Poseidon and the nymph Cleodora, is said to have been the founder of Delphi, the inventor of the art of foretelling the future from the flight of birds, and to have given his name to Mount Parnassus. (Paus. x. 6. § 1.)

THE THRIAI (or Thriae) were three prophetic Nymphs of Mount Parnassos in Phokis (central Greece). They were minor goddesses of the art of divinitation by pebbles and of the birds of omen. Hermes received them as a gift from the god Apollon.The Thriai may have been identified with the Korykiai, Nymphs of the prophetic springs of Mount Parnassos, or with the Nymphai Themeides daughters of the oracular goddess Themis. They also appear to be related to the Melissai, bee and honey nymphs.THRIAE (Thriai), the name of three prophetic nymphs on Mount Parnassus, by whom Apollo was reared, and who were believed to have invented the art of prophecy by means of little stones (thriai), which were thrown into an urn. (Hom. Hymn. in Merc. 552 ; Schol. ad Callim. Hymn. in Apoll. 45 ; comp. Lobeck, Aglaoph. p. 814.)Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.Homeric Hymn 4 to Hermes 550 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th to 4th B.C.) :
"[Apollon to Hermes:] ‘There are certain holy ones, sisters born--three virgins gifted with wings: their heads are besprinkled with white meal, and they dwell under a ridge of Parnassos. These are teachers of divination apart from me, the art which I practised while yet a boy following herds, though my father paid no heed to it. From their home they fly now here, now there, feeding on honey-comb and bringing all things to pass. And when they are inspired through eating yellow honey, they are willing to speak the truth; but if they be deprived of the gods' sweet food, then they speak falsely, as they swarm in and out together. These, then, I give you; enquire of them strictly and delight you heart: and if you should teach any mortal so to do often will he hear your response--if he have good fortune. Take these, Son of Maia . . .’So he spake. And from heaven father Zeus himself gave confirmation to his words, and commanded that glorious Hermes should be lord over all birds of omen . . . and also that he only should be the appointed messenger to Aides, who, though he takes no gift, shall give him no mean prize."
[Translator's commentary: The Thriai, who practised divination by means of pebbles (also called thriai). In this hymn they are represented as aged maidens, but are closely associated with bees and possibly are here conceived as having human heads and breasts with the bodies and wings of bees.

Wie Simeon möcht ich auch gern mit Fried' und Freuden
1.) Wie Simeon (a)
Möcht ich auch gern mit Fried' und Freuden,
Das Heil umarmend, ruhig scheiden
Aus dieser Welt. Hilf mir, o Gottes Sohn,
Wie Simeon!
2.) Ein Simeon,
Verhüllt in Heimwehs dunkle Schatten,
Durft Antwort von dem Geist erwarten,
Der regt ihn an. Er geht, umfasst Ihn schon,
Den Gottes Sohn.
3.) Nun ist's geschehn!
Zuvor sollt' er den Tod nicht sehen,
Bis er D e n sah. Nun wollt er gehen
Nach seinem Wort. Nicht länger bleibt er stehn,
Eilt heimzugehn.
4.) Auch ich möcht' heim!
Hier ist es ja noch nicht erschienen,
Was es wird sein, wenn wir mit Jenen
Ihn sehen werden, wie Er ist - daheim,
Herr, hol mich heim!
5.) O sel'ges Teil,
Hier gleicht man immer noch den Leichen,
Seh ich Ihn dort, werd' ich Ihm gleichen.
O Herr! Ich warte sehnlich auf dies Teil,
Wart' auf dein Heil!
6.) Ach, nimm mich auf!
Lass mich dann nur zu Deinen Füßen.
Auch eines Kindes Teil genießen.
Wenn durchgekämpft, vollendet ist mein Lauf,
O nimm mich auf!
7.) Nimm mich zu Dir!
Ich tauge doch nichts mehr auf Erden.
Es gibt so mancherlei Beschwerden,
Und ich fühl mich nur immer schwächer hier,
Nimm mich zu Dir!
(a) Der Prophet Simeon ist eine Gestalt des Neuen Testaments. Im Lukas-Evangelium (Kapitel 2, Verse 25-35) wird beschrieben, wie er sehnsüchtig auf die Ankunft des Messias wartet und ihn schließlich bei dessen Erscheinung im Tempel in die Arme schließen kann. Er lobt Gott für die Erfüllung der Verheißung, er (Simeon) werde noch zu Lebzeiten den Messias sehen mit seinem Lobgesang. Dieses Geschehen wird am Feiertag der Darstellung des Herrn am 2. Februar gefeiert. Die katholische Bezeichnung ist Maria Lichtmess.

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (often called Led Zeppelin IV). It is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.The song has three sections, each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume. The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments (guitar and recorders) before introducing electric instruments. The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement highlighted by Page's intricate guitar solo accompanying Plant's vocals that end with the plaintive a cappella line: "And she's buying a stairway to heaven"."Stairway to Heaven" was voted #3 in 2000 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs,[7] and was placed at number 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s, despite never having been officially released as a single there.[8] In November 2007, through download sales promoting Led Zeppelin's Mothership release, "Stairway to Heaven" hit No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.The recording of "Stairway to Heaven" commenced in December 1970 at Island Records' new Basing Street Studios in London.[10] The song was completed by the addition of lyrics by Plant during the sessions for Led Zeppelin IV at Headley Grange, Hampshire, in 1971.[11] Page then returned to Island Studios to record his guitar solo.The song originated in 1970 when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were spending time at Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote cottage in Wales, following Led Zeppelin's fifth American concert tour. According to Page, he wrote the music "over a long period, the first part coming at Bron-Yr-Aur one night".Page always kept a cassette recorder around, and the idea for "Stairway" came together from bits of taped music:I had these pieces, these guitar pieces, that I wanted to put together. I had a whole idea of a piece of music that I really wanted to try and present to everybody and try and come to terms with. Bit difficult really, because it started on acoustic, and as you know it goes through to the electric parts. But we had various run-throughs [at Headley Grange] where I was playing the acoustic guitar and jumping up and picking up the electric guitar. Robert was sitting in the corner, or rather leaning against the wall, and as I was routining the rest of the band with this idea and this piece, he was just writing. And all of a sudden he got up and started singing, along with another run-through, and he must have had 80% of the words there ... I had these sections, and I knew what order they were going to go in, but it was just a matter of getting everybody to feel comfortable with each gear shift that was going to be coming.Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones recalled this presentation of the song to him following its genesis at Bron-Yr-Aur:Page and Plant would come back from the Welsh mountains with the guitar intro and verse. I literally heard it in front of a roaring fire in a country manor house! I picked up a bass recorder and played a run-down riff which gave us an intro, then I moved into a piano for the next section, dubbing on the guitars.In an interview he gave in 1977, Page elaborated:I do have the original tape that was running at the time we ran down "Stairway To Heaven" completely with the band. I'd worked it all out already the night before with John Paul Jones, written down the changes and things. All this time we were all living in a house and keeping pretty regular hours together, so the next day we started running it down. There was only one place where there was a slight rerun. For some unknown reason Bonzo couldn't get the timing right on the twelve-string part before the solo. Other than that it flowed very quickly.The first attempts at lyrics, written by Robert Plant next to an evening log fire at Headley Grange, were partly spontaneously improvised and Page claimed, "a huge percentage of the lyrics were written there and then".[13] Jimmy Page was strumming the chords and Robert Plant had a pencil and paper. Plant later said that suddenly,My hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady is sure [sic], all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven'. I just sat there and looked at them and almost leapt out of my seat." Plant's own explanation of the lyrics was that it "was some cynical aside about a woman getting everything she wanted all the time without giving back any thought or consideration. The first line begins with that cynical sweep of the hand ... and it softened up after that.The lyrics of the song reflected Plant's current reading. The singer had been poring over the works of the British antiquarian Lewis Spence, and later cited Spence's Magic Arts in Celtic Britain as one of the sources for the lyrics to the song.In November 1970, Page dropped a hint of the new song's existence to a music journalist in London:It's an idea for a really long track.... You know how "Dazed and Confused" and songs like that were broken into sections? Well, we want to try something new with the organ and acoustic guitar building up and building up, and then the electric part starts.... It might be a fifteen-minute track.Page stated that the song "speeds up like an adrenaline flow". He explained:Going back to those studio days for me and John Paul Jones, the one thing you didn't do was speed up, because if you sped up you wouldn't be seen again. Everything had to be right on the meter all the way through. And I really wanted to write something which did speed up, and took the emotion and the adrenaline with it, and would reach a sort of crescendo. And that was the idea of it. That's why it was a bit tricky to get together in stages.The complete studio recording was released on Led Zeppelin IV in November 1971. The band's record label, Atlantic Records was keen to issue this track as a single, but the band's manager Peter Grant refused requests to do so in both 1972 and 1973. The upshot of that decision was that record buyers began to invest in the fourth album as if it were a single.[8] In the US, Atlantic issued "Stairway to Heaven" as a 7" promotional single in 1972.The song consists of several distinct sections, beginning with a quiet introduction on a finger-picked six-string guitar and four recorders in a Renaissance music style[18] (ending at 2:15) and gradually moving into a slow electric middle section (2:16–5:33), then a long guitar solo (5:34–6:44), before the faster hard rock final section (6:45 to 7:45), ending with a short vocals-only epilogue. Plant sings the opening, middle and epilogue sections in his mid vocal range, but sings the hard rock section in his higher range which borders on falsetto.
Written in the key of A minor, the song opens with an arpeggiated, finger-picked guitar chord progression with a chromatic descending bassline A-G#-G-F#-F. John Paul Jones contributed overdubbed wooden bass recorders in the opening section (he used a Mellotron and, later, a Yamaha CP70B Grand Piano and Yamaha GX1 to synthesise this arrangement in live performances)[16] and a Hohner Electra-Piano electric piano in the middle section.
The sections build with more guitar layers, each complementary to the intro, with the drums entering at 4:18. The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)[16] plugged into a Supro amplifier,[19] although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could have been a Marshall, but I can't remember".[13] Three different improvised solos were recorded, with Page agonising about deciding which to keep. Page later revealed, "I did have the first phrase worked out, and then there was the link phrase. I did check them out beforehand before the tape ran." The other guitar parts were played using a Harmony Sovereign H1260 acoustic guitar and a Fender Electric XII guitar (a 12-string guitar that was plugged directly to the soundboard); these can be heard on the left and right recording channels respectively. For live versions, Page switched to a Heritage Cherry Gibson EDS-1275 6/12 Doubleneck guitar. The final progression is a i-VII-VI (natural minor) progression (Am-G-F), a mainstay of rock music.Another interesting aspect of the song is the timing of the lead-up to the famous guitar solo. While staying in 4/4 throughout this section, most of the accents shift to the eight notes. This makes the rhythm figure challenging for some musicians, but adds a feeling of anticipation to the approaching guitar solo.Sound engineer Andy Johns recalls the circumstances surrounding the recording of Page's famous solo:I remember Jimmy had a little bit of trouble with the solo on "Stairway to Heaven"... [H]e hadn't completely figured it out. Nowadays you sometimes spend a whole day doing one thing. Back then, we never did that. We never spent a very long time recording anything. I remember sitting in the control room with Jimmy, he's standing there next to me and he'd done quite a few passes and it wasn't going anywhere. I could see he was getting a bit paranoid and so I was getting paranoid. I turned around and said "You're making me paranoid!" And he said, "No, you're making me paranoid!" It was a silly circle of paranoia. Then bang! On the next take or two he ripped it out.According to Page, "Stairway to Heaven"
...crystallized the essence of the band. It had everything there and showed the band at its best... as a band, as a unit. Not talking about solos or anything, it had everything there. We were careful never to release it as a single. It was a milestone for us. Every musician wants to do something of lasting quality, something which will hold up for a long time and I guess we did it with "Stairway".[Pete] Townshend probably thought that he got it with Tommy. I don't know whether I have the ability to come up with more. I have to do a lot of hard work before I can get anywhere near those stages of consistent, total brilliance.The inaugural public performance of the song took place at Belfast's Ulster Hall on 5 March 1971.[16] Bassist John Paul Jones recalls that the crowd was unimpressed: "They were all bored to tears waiting to hear something they knew".[17] However, Page stated about an early performance at the LA Forum, before the record had even come out,[29] that:
I'm not saying the whole audience gave us a standing ovation, but there was this sizable standing ovation there. And I thought: 'This is incredible, because no one's heard this number yet. This is the first time they're hearing it!' It obviously touched them, you know. And that was at the L.A. Forum, so I knew we were onto something with that one.
The world radio premiere of "Stairway to Heaven" was recorded at the Paris Cinema on 1 April 1971, in front of a live studio audience, and broadcast three days later on the BBC.[29] The song was performed at almost every subsequent Led Zeppelin concert, only being omitted on rare occasions when shows were cut short for curfews or technical issues. The band's final performance of the song was in Berlin on 7 July 1980, which was also their last concert until 10 Dec 2007 at London's O2 Arena; the version was the longest, lasting almost fifteen minutes, including a seven and a half-minute guitar solo.Jimmy Page used a double-necked guitar to perform "Stairway to Heaven" live.When playing the song live, the band would often extend it to over ten minutes, with Page playing an extended guitar solo and Plant adding a number of lyrical ad-libs, such as "Does anybody remember laughter?", "And I think you can see that" (as seen in the film The Song Remains the Same), "Does anybody remember forests?" (As seen on the live performance in Seattle 1977), "wait a minute!" and "I hope so". For performing this song live, Page used a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck guitar so he would not have to pause when switching from a six to a twelve string guitar.By 1975, the song had a regular place as the finale of every Led Zeppelin concert. However, after their concert tour of the United States in 1977, Plant began to tire of "Stairway to Heaven": "There's only so many times you can sing it and mean it ... It just became sanctimonious."The song was played again by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at the Live Aid concert in 1985;[ at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988, with Jason Bonham on drums; and by Jimmy Page as an instrumental version on his solo tours.By the late 1980s, Plant made his negative impression of the song clear in interviews. In 1988, he stated:I'd break out in hives if I had to sing ("Stairway to Heaven") in every show. I wrote those lyrics and found that song to be of some importance and consequence in 1971, but 17 years later, I don't know. It's just not for me. I sang it at the Atlantic Records show because I'm an old softie and it was my way of saying thank you to Atlantic because I've been with them for 20 years. But no more of "Stairway to Heaven" for me.However, by the mid-1990s Plant's views had apparently softened. The first few bars were played alone during Page and Plant tours in lieu of the final notes of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and in November 1994 Page and Plant performed an acoustic version of the song at a Tokyo news station for Japanese television. "Stairway to Heaven" was also performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007. This song is played a whole step lower.Plant cites the most unusual performance of the song ever as being that performed at Live Aid: "with two drummers (Phil Collins and Tony Thompson) while Duran Duran cried at the side of the stage – there was something quite surreal about that."Footage of the song being played live is preserved on the band's concert film The Song Remains the Same, featuring a performance from Madison Square Garden in 1973, and on the Led Zeppelin DVD, featuring a performance from Earls Court Arena in 1975. Official audio versions are also available on The Song Remains the Same's accompanying soundtrack, on Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions (a performance from London's Paris Theatre in 1971) and on How the West Was Won (a performance from the Long Beach Arena in 1972). There are also hundreds of audio versions which can be found on unofficial Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings."Stairway to Heaven" is often rated among the greatest rock songs of all time.[4][5][6] According to music journalist Stephen Davis, although the song was released in 1971, it took until 1973 before the song's popularity ascended to truly "anthemic" status.[34] As Page himself recalled, "I knew it was good, but I didn't know it was going to be almost like an anthem ... But I knew it was the gem of the album, sure.""Stairway to Heaven" continues to top radio lists of the greatest rock songs, including a 2006 Guitar World readers poll of greatest guitar solos.[36] On the 20th anniversary of the original release of the song, it was announced via U.S. radio sources that the song had logged up an estimated 2,874,000 radio plays – back to back, that would run for 44 years solid. As of 2000, the song had been broadcast on radio over three million times.[37] In 1990 a St Petersburg, Florida station kicked off its all-Led Zeppelin format by playing "Stairway to Heaven" for 24 hours straight.[38] It is also the biggest-selling single piece of sheet music in rock history, clocking up an average of 15,000 copies yearly.[16] In total, over one million copies have been sold.[The song's length precluded its release in full form as a single.[citation needed] Despite pressure from Atlantic Records the band would not authorise the editing of the song for single release, making "Stairway to Heaven" one of the most well-known and popular rock songs never to have been released as a single. It did, however, appear on two promotional discs in the United States, one of them featuring the 7:55 track on each side, and the other as a 7" 331⁄3 record produced for jukebox operators with "Stairway..." on one side and both "Black Dog" and "Rock And Roll" on the other. Other "single" appearances were on an Australian EP, and in 1991 as an added bonus with a 20th anniversary promo book.The group's recording of this song also appeared as the sole Led Zeppelin track in the 1977 Atlantic Records 2-LP promotional sampler album, We've Got Your Music, marking the first time that Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" made its official debut appearance in an American-released various artists compilation collection.On the 20th anniversary of the song's release, Esquire magazine featured an article on the song's success and lasting influence. Karen Karbo wrote:It's doubtful that anyone knew it would become the most popular rock song of all time. After all, it's eight minutes long and was never released as a single. Even "Hey Jude" was shorter, was a 45, and enjoyed the benefits of comprehensible words and a sing-along chorus. But "Hey Jude" isn't the most requested song of all time on FM rock stations. Nobody ever had a "Hey Jude" theme prom or played the song at weddings and funerals like "Stairway." "Stairway" couldn't succeed today. Back in 1971, FM deejays prided themselves on digging deep into albums to come up with oddball, cultish favorites. With its near-oppressive length, erratic changes, and woo-woo lyrics, the quasi-medieval anthem was a perfect choice. It continues to be a favorite among music listeners who are younger than the song itself, listeners who, in some cases, were no doubt conceived while the tune blasted from car speakers.In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine put it at number 31 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". An article from the 29 January 2009 Guitar World magazine rated Jimmy Page's guitar solo at number one in the publication's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos in Rock and Roll History.[40] Since 2001, the New York City-based classic rock radio station Q104.3 has ranked "Stairway to Heaven" no. 1 on their annual "Top 1,043 Classic Rock Songs of All Time".Erik Davis, a social historian and cultural critic, commented on the song's massive success, subsequent backlash and enduring legendary status:"Stairway to Heaven" isn't the greatest rock song of the 1970s; it is the greatest spell of the 1970s. Think about it: we are all sick of the thing, but in some primordial way it is still number one. Everyone knows it... Even our dislike and mockery is ritualistic. The dumb parodies; the Wayne's World-inspired folklore about guitar shops demanding customers not play it; even Robert Plant's public disavowal of the song—all of these just prove the rule. "Stairway to Heaven" is not just number one. It is the One, the quintessence, the closest AOR will ever get you to the absolute.Page has himself commented on the song's legacy:The wonderful thing about "Stairway" is the fact that just about everybody has got their own individual interpretation to it, and actually what it meant to them at their point of life. And that's what's so great about it. Over the passage of years, you know, people come to me with all manner of stories about, you know, what it meant to them at certain points of their lives. About how it's got them through some really tragic circumstances ... Because it's an extremely positive song, it's such a positive energy, and, you know, people have got married to [the song].Robert Plant once gave $1,000 to listener-supported radio station KBOO in Portland, Oregon during a pledge drive after the disc jockey solicited donations by promising the station would never play "Stairway to Heaven". Plant was station-surfing in a rental car he was driving to the Oregon Coast after a solo performance in Portland and was impressed with the non-mainstream music the station presented. Asked later "why?" Plant replied that it wasn't that he didn't like the song, but he'd heard it before.Claims of backward masking.In a January 1982 television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network hosted by Paul Crouch, it was claimed that hidden messages were contained in many popular rock songs through a technique called backward masking. One example of such hidden messages that was prominently cited was in "Stairway to Heaven."[44] The alleged message, which occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now...") when played backward, was purported to contain the Satanic references "Here's to my sweet Satan" and "I sing because I live with Satan."Following the claims made in the television program, California assemblyman Phil Wyman proposed a state law that would require warning labels on records containing backward masking. In April 1982, the Consumer Protection and Toxic Materials Committee of the California State Assembly held a hearing on backward masking in popular music, during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backward. During the hearing, William Yarroll, a self-described "neuroscientific researcher," claimed that backward messages could be deciphered by the human brain.The band itself has for the most part ignored such claims. In response to the allegations, Swan Song Records issued the statement: "Our turntables only play in one direction—forwards." Led Zeppelin audio engineer Eddie Kramer called the allegations "totally and utterly ridiculous. Why would they want to spend so much studio time doing something so dumb?"Robert Plant expressed frustration with the accusations in a 1983 interview in Musician magazine: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway to Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."

Sie sind vorbei, die reichen, frohen Zeiten
1.) Sie sind vorbei, die reichen, frohen Zeiten,
Da süße Früchte glänzten an den Bäumen,
Und nimmer malt der Sonne spätes Scheiden
Sich golden ab in grünen Waldessäumen.
Ach, all die bunten Jahresherrlichkeiten
Umgaukeln fern uns nur mehr wie in Träumen.
Es ruht der Freuden Spenderin und schweiget,
Zum Schlummer hat sie müde sich geneiget.
2.) Doch wie unsichtbar in der Berge Tiefen
Die Tropfen sammeln sich zur frischen Quelle.
Wie aus der Nacht, indes die Menschen schliefen,
Der Tag hervorbricht in siegreicher Helle,
Als wären's Zauberkräfte, welche riefen
Aus nichts die Quelle wie der Tag zur Stelle.
So im Verborgnen will sich vorbereiten
Das Heil der Welt, der Segen aller Zeiten.
3.) Jawohl! Es kommt der Erde größter Segen,
Das Heil, es naht sich mit geheimen Tritten.
Gleich wie aus Wolkendrohen (a) bald der Regen
Kommt über dürres Erdreich hingeschritten,
Und, die sie in die dunkle Kammer legen,
Bald gehn hervor aus ihrer Gräber Mitten.
So ist's bestimmt den ärmsten, düstern Tagen,
Verschlossen in sich Heiles Füll' zu tragen.
4.) Arm ist die Erde! So mag sie empfangen,
Den, der sie reich macht vor viel tausend Welten.
Mag sie als Tropfen auch am Eimer hangen, (b)
Der Tropfen soll bald mehr als Meere gelten,
Und herrlicher wird bald die Arme prangen, (c)
Als je auszog der stattlichste der Helden:
Denn der errettet, was da war verloren,
Der hat die Menschheit sich zur Braut (c) erkoren.
5.) Drum Seele, rüste dich, ihn zu begrüßen,
Mach hoch die Tore, öffne weit die Pforten!
Lausch' hoher Predigt, jener wundersüßen,
Die jetzt sich vorbereitet aller Orten:
Denn mit der Engel Chöre frohen Grüßen
Kommt Botschaft jetzt zu dir mit diesen Worten:
'Mensch, geh hervor: Dein König kommt gegangen,
Und von dir selber will Er sein empfangen.'
(a) Drohung
(b) mag sie selbst auch unbedeutend sein
(c) leuchten
(d) Ein Bild für die christliche Kirche ist Jesus Christus als Bräutigam und die Gläubigen in ihrer Gesamtheit als Braut.

Rudolph Reither, eig. Schreiber, auch Rudolf (* 14. April 1818 in Nördlingen; † 14. März 1905 in Augsburg) war ein deutscher Gymnasiallehrer und Schriftsteller evangelisch-lutherischer Konfession. Reither studierte Theologie und Philosophie und fand im Jahr 1847 als Studienlehrer am königlichen Gymnasium in Ansbach eine Anstellung. Im Jahr 1856 stieg er zum Professor auf und wurde 1870 zum Kreisscholarchen (Schulinspektor) von Mittelfranken ernannt. An Ostern 1873 nahm er eine Stelle als Gymnasialprofessor an der Studienanstalt St. Anna in Augsburg an, wo er zugleich Direktor des protestantischen Kollegiums wurde. Er trat Ende 1884 in den Ruhestand. Im Jahr 1846 erschien eine Sammlung eigener Lieder unter dem Titel 'Das Jahr, ein Cyclus von Liedern auf die 12 Monate', die auch seine geistlichen Gedichte enthält, von denen der Pfarrer Johann Jakob Schneider (1797-1859) drei in seine im Jahr 1847 in Basel herausgegebene Sammlung 'Die christlichen Sänger des 19. Jahrhunderts' aufgenommen hat. Ein Palmsonntagslied von Reither steht auch im 'Evangelischem Hausschatz in Gebeten und Liedern', der im Jahr 1852 in Zürich erschienen ist.

Sei gegrüßt in deiner Schöne
- Lied an den Abendstern -
1.) Sei gegrüßt in deiner Schöne,
Holder Stern der stillen Nacht!
Mit dir sind die leiser Töne
Meiner Leier oft erwacht.
Sehnend sah zum blauen Raume
Mein getrübter Blick empor,
Wenn sich im Erinn'rungstraume
Meine Seele gern verlor.
2.) Wenn ich trauernd in dem Strahle
Deines Lichts an Gräbern stand
Und Zypressen um die Male
Meiner Frühverklärten wand:
O, dann floss mit deinem Schimmer
Labung in mein wundes Herz,
Sanft erheitert hob sich immer
Frei mein Auge himmelwärts.
3.) Strahl auch jetzt von deiner Höhen
Holder Bote süßer Ruh',
Ahnungen vom Wiedersehen
Von dem ew'gen Glück mir zu,
Dass der Tränenquell versiege,
Der den Vielgeliebten fließt,
Die des Grabes dunkle Wiege
Meiner Sehnsucht Blick verschließt.

My favourite local music venue "Claptrap" remains closed due to Covid-19 restrictions but it has been able to start operating as a rehearsal room with plenty of space for band members to socially distance. This was our first get together for over three months.
Chairs in the venue have been decorated at home by various regulars during the lockdown.
Guitar on the left id a 1965 Harmony H19, the other is a 1959 Supro Dual Tone.
Supro was the budget line of Valco who also manufactured Airlines and Nationals Notable players of this particular model include Link Wray and David Bowie.

Des Herren ist der Erdenkreis
1.) Des Herren ist der Erdenkreis
Und was darin verfasset,
Der Erdboden, gemacht mit Fleiß,
Und was drauf wohnend rastet.
Denn er hat ihn an allen Ort
Des tiefen Meers gegründet
Und an den Wassern durch sein Wort
Beständiglich gebunden
Mit starker Hand bereitet.
2.) Wer wird nun auf dem rechten Pfad
Des Herren Berges gehen?
Wer wird an seiner heiligen Stätt'
Ganz unbeweglich stehen?
Der unschuldige Hände hat
Und ist im Herzen reine,
Zu loser Lehr' kein G'fallen hat,
Bei Gotts Wort bleibt alleine
Und tut nicht fälschlich schwören.
3.) Ein solcher wird den Segen frei
Von Gott, dem Herrn, empfangen,
Und ewige Gerechtigkeit
Durch Gott seins Heils erlangen.
Dies ist das auserwählt' Geschlecht,
Das nach dem Herren fraget,
Das Antlitz Jakob (a) suchet recht
Und nach sein'm Segen jaget,
Wird auch denselb' erlangen.
4.) So machet nun die Tore weit,
Erhöht der Werlet (b) Toren,
Damit der Herr dadurch einreit,
Ein König aller Ehren.
Fragst du, wer derselb' König sei?
Es ist Gott, unser Herre.
All' Stärk' und Macht ihm wohnet bei,
Sein G'walt tut er bewehren
Im Streit an allen Enden.
5.) So machet nun die Tore weit,
Die Tür der Welt erhöhet,
Auf dass der Herr einziehend reit,
Ein König aller Ehren.
Fragst du, wer derselb' König sei?
Es ist Gott, unser Herre,
Genannt Zebaoth (c), mächtig, frei,
Der König aller Ehren
Im Himmel und auf Erden.
6.) Lasst uns nun loben unsern Gott,
Der alle Ding' erschaffen,
Die Welt erhält mit seinem Wort
Und tut die Sünden strafen.
Der woll' uns durch sein' lieben Sohn
Den ew'gen Segen geben,
Auf dass wir ihn stets preisen schon
Mit Herzen, Mund und Leben
Und ihm all' Ehre geben.
(a) Jakob, Abrahams Enkel, Sohn des Isaak, Stammvater der zwölf Stämme Israels, wird hier als ideeller Vorfahre aller Christen angesehen, weil von diesem ausgehend über Jesus Christus die Heilszusage Gottes auf die Christenheit kam.
(b) hier wird das Wort 'Welt' um einen Buchstaben 'e' verlängert, um die notwendige Silbenzahl zu erreichen
(c) Zebaoth ist ein Ehrenname Gottes. Er kommt aus dem Hebräischen und bedeutet soviel wie 'Heere' oder 'Heerscharen'

Voll Dank an diesem neuen Morgen
1.) Voll Dank an diesem neuen Morgen,
Erhebe dich, mein Geist, zu Gott!
Er wird für dich auch heute sorgen,
Er bleibt dein Vater in der Not.
Er schützte dich in dieser Nacht,
Durch ihn bist du, gestärkt, erwacht.
2.) Wem dank ich's sonst als deiner Güte,
Dass mich, o Gott, kein Unfall traf? -
Mit innig-freudigem Gemüte,
Dank ich für Stärkung, Ruh' und Schlaf.
Auch heute wirst du mit mir sein,
Und mir zur Tugend Kraft verleihn.
3.) Wie viele tausend meiner Brüder,
Sind heute nicht mit mir erwacht,
Und sahn nicht diese Sonne wieder,
Bedecket von des Todes Nacht.
Ich lebe noch, und mich erfreut,
Des neuen Tages Heiterkeit.
4.) Wie viele riss in ihren Sünden,
In Wollust, Zorn und Trunkenheit
Der Tod hinweg? Wie viele finden
Zur Buße ferner keine Zeit?
Voll Scham und Reue sieht ihr Blick,
Auf die verschwundne Zeit zurück.
5.) Erhalter! Dir soll jede Stunde,
Von diesem Tage heilig sein!
Ich schwöre dir mit Herz und Munde,
Den Lasterpfad mit Ernst zu scheun,
Damit mich meine Gnadenzeit
Bereite für die Ewigkeit.
6.) Bewahre mich, o Gott der Liebe!
Auch heute, wie du stets getan:
Du kennst mein Herz und seine Triebe -
Nimm meiner dich erbarmend an,
So oft die Sünde mich betrügt,
Und mein zu schwaches Herz besiegt!
7.) Regiere Sinne, Geist und Glieder,
Zum Dienste der Gerechtigkeit!
Stärk mich zum Nutzen meiner Brüder!
Zu dem, was mein Beruf gebeut! (a)
Lass mich die Armen gern erfreun,
Und frei von Neid und Feindschaft sein.
8.) So will ich froh den Tag vollenden,
Vertraut mit dir und meiner Pflicht!
Mein Leben steht in deinen Händen.
Ich, dein Erlöser, zittre nicht!
Und schließt sich heut' mein Pilgerlauf, (b)
So eilt mein Geist zu dir hinauf.
(a) alte Form von 'gebietet'
(b) Aus evangelischer Sicht ist das menschliche Leben selbst die Pilgerschaft zu Gott, deswegen werden vom Leben abgewandte Wege, wie Pilgerreisen, Klöster und Zölibat, nicht nur nicht benötigt, sie werden sogar als schädlich angesehen. In diesem Sinn ist hier unter dem Begriff 'Pilgerlauf' der Lebenslauf des um Glauben ringende Mensch zu verstehen.

Lieder für Christen
von Christoph Georg Ludewig Meister
Druck und Verlag Bädecker
Essen, 1781
Thema: Morgenlied
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Christoph Georg Ludwig Meister, (* 12. August 1738 in Halle/Saale im Herzogtum Magdeburg, † 26. Januar 1811 in Bremen) war evangelisch-reformierter Pädagoge, Pfarrer und Lieddichter. Er wurde als Sohn eines Wollwarenfabrikanten geboren, studierte in Halle an der Saale Theologie, war anschließend Rektor zu Ballenstädt und wurde danach in geistliche Ämter nach Bernburg, Altenburg und Waldau berufen. Im Jahr 1774 kam er als Pfarrer nach Duisburg und wurde dort im Jahr 1778 Professor der Theologie. Im Herbst 1784 übernahm er das Pfarramt an der Kirche 'Unserer Lieben Frauen' und erhielt gleichzeitig die sogenannte theologische Professur am dortigen Gymnasium in Bremen, wo er im Jahr 1811 starb. Außer einigen weltlichen Dichtungen hat er vor allem 160 geistlicher Lieder verfasst, die sich durch Formgewandtheit auszeichnen. Von ihnen fanden einige in dem 1812 erschienenen reformierten Gesangbuch für Bremen Aufnahme und sind dann in viele Gemeindegesangbücher übergegangen. Hierzu gehören die bekannten Lieder 'Heil ihm, dem Todesüberwinder' und 'Lass mir die Feier deiner Leiden', die zuerst in seiner Sammlung 'Lieder für Christen', in Essen 1781, zweite Auflage in Bremen 1790, erschienen sind. Auch in einige andere Werke hat er geistliche Lieder eingestreut.

O Herr, mein Gott, mit Danken und Lobsingen
1.) O Herr, mein Gott, mit Danken und Lobsingen
Will ich dir jetzt mein Abendopfer (a) bringen,
Du hast mich heut aus lauter Huld und Gnaden
Bewahrt vor Schaden.
2.) Ach, wie viel Gutes hast du mir erwiesen!
Dafür sei nun von Herzen hoch gepriesen!
Was bin ich, dass du so viel Huld mir schenkest
Und mein gedenkest?
3.) Ein Wurm bin ich, tief in dem Staub der Erden,
Voll Sünd' in Worten, Werken und Gebärden. (b)
Ach heut' hat wohl mein Denken und mein Wallen (c)
Dir oft missfallen.
4.) Ich fühl es tief, ich bin mit Schuld beladen:
Um Jesu willen sieh mich an in Gnaden!
Erlass, o Herr, mir, deinem armen Kinde
All meine Sünde!
5.) Nunmehr will ich zu meiner Ruhe gehen,
O lass dein Aug' erbarmend auf mich sehen!
Behüte mich, dass mich kein Schrecknis quäle,
An Leib und Seele!
6.) Ich bin so schwach, umgeben von Gefahren,
Drum mach dich auf, mich kräftig zu bewahren!
In aller Not lass deine Hilf' erscheinen
Mir und den Meinen!
7.) Eins aber willst Du mir von allem geben,
Dass ich, so lang ich noch allhier soll leben,
In deiner Furcht an Geist, an Seel' und Leibe
Dein eigen bleibe!
8.) Du hörest mich, mein Glaube kann nicht zagen,
Dein Sohn hat meine Missetat getragen:
Ich leb und sterb' getrost in seinem Namen.
Mein Vater! Amen.

Schwarzburgisches Sion
oder Schwarzburgs geistliche Liederdichter in biographischen Skizzen nebst einer Auswahl ihrer Lieder
Druck der fürstl. priv. Hofbuchdruckerei

Thema: Abendlied
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
August Johann Wilhelm Julius Ernst Gehring (* 25. November 1810 in Rudolstadt, Fürstentum Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt; † unbekannt) war ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Pfarrer und Lieddichter. Gehring immatrikulierte sich nach dem Besuch des Gymnasiums im Jahr 1828 an der Universität Leipzig, wo er Theologie studierte. Nach dem Studienabschluss drei Jahre später hielt er vertretungsweise erste Gottesdienste in den Orten Schaala und Weitersdorf. Im Jahr 1834 wurde er zum Hilfspfarrer bestellt und leitete gleichzeitig eine höhere Schule für Mädchen. 1839 wurde er auf die neugegründete Pfarrstelle im Ort Scheibe im Thüringer Wald berufen. Um Kirche und Pfarrhaus bauen lassen zu können, musste Gehring selbst Mittel beisteuern, weswegen er eine Kollektenreise in Norddeutschlanf unternahm. Im Jahr 1853 wechselte Gehring an die Kirche St. Jakob in Leutenberg. Von Gehring liegen mehrere Predigten im Druck vor; seine geistlichen Lieder veröffentlichte er in Zeitschriften. Darüber hinaus verfasste er ein naturhistorisches Fabelbuch, das 1843 in Berlin erschien und legte mit 'Azarias' ein schöngeistiges Werk vor, das ebenfalls Lieder enthält. In der 1857 in Rudolstadt aufgelegten Liedsammlung 'Schwarzburgisches Sion', in der Schwarzburgs geistliche Liederdichter in biographischen Skizzen und eine Auswahl ihrer Lieder enthalten sind, stehen zwei Lieder von Gehring.
