| 2 | Mitzi, Fritzi, Kitzi Terzett: Three Little Maids |
Three little maids Three little maids Pretty and trim from our toes to our braids We are off on the sly Can't you guess why Lest you should pry Sweethearts are nigh. Sisters beware Love is a snare 'Till you are married you'd better take care But I'll warn you remember to be demure It's risky to let them know Will meet a beau It they're not too hopelessly slow Soon to be a husband Married I'll be. Then there'll be none to criticize me. Flowers are growing Breezes are blowing Heart of mine how warmly you glow. My love is burning My soul is yearning I should advise less ardor to show Although I (you) love me so. (Refrain) Mitzi and Fritzi and Kitzi Kranz Eyes that dance, feet that prance Off on a sly for a stolen meeting Lovers greeting, oh what fun. I have a sweetheart dear I have a sweetheart near They cannot see their beau alone For I'm a fussy chaperone. Mitzi and Fritzi and Kitzi Kranz Eyes that dance, feet that prance Off on a sly for a stolen meeting Lovers greeting, oh what fun. I have a sweetheart dear I have a sweetheart near They cannot see their beau alone For I'm a fussy chaperone. |

| 3 | Schober, Schubert, Vogl,
Kupelweiser, Schwind, Hansy Sextet : Serenade |
(Schober). Good afternoon my boon
companions, tell me how the world is treating you today (Vogl, Schwind, Kupelweiser). Hello there Schober, we've a piece of news for you, We're feeling very gay ! (Vogl). Old Schubert here has found a patron (Schober). I knew his luck would turn ere long (Schwind). He's giving us a splendid supper (Kupelweiser). With the price of a little song (Schober). Wake up old friend, we're waiting for your company, The dinner is already laid (Schubert). I'm just jotting down a serenade (Vogl, Schwind, Kupelweiser). He's just jotting down a serenade! (Schober). To your industry I bow, Show us what your muse is up to now ! (Vogl, Schwind, Kupelweiser). All his music is divine But we'd rather have a glass of wine ! |
|
| (Schober). Under your window, Deep in
the shadow, Stand I here alone With my song The night wind weaves a pleading like my own In the trees that softly whisper Sings the nightingale, Sings the nightingale, Silver notes of hopeless yearning Where my words must fail, Where my words must fail, All the agony of longing All the bitter pain In his song he tells my passion Sing nightingale again, Sing nightingale again, again, again. |
Ständchen, D957/4 (Leise flehen, meine Lieder) | ||
| 4 | Schober, Schubert, Vogl,
Kupelweiser, Schwind Quintet :My Springtime Thou Art |
(Schober). Birds are darting, Birds
are starting hand in hand go Girl and Boy (Vogl). Very charming, But more calming Is the wine-cup's golden joy. (Schwind). I would roam From my home far across the sea (Kupelweiser). My joy best is expressed In my poetry (Schober). What more royal comrades loyal Greater blessing can you tell ? (Schubert). Cease your pond'ring Wine and wand'ring Frienship, art All lose their spell |
Ecossaise, D735/6 |
| (Schubert). Oh gentle April who
blesses The Earth with caresses Be kindly and give me the girl of my heart, Upon her soft maiden's bosom Let sweet lilacs blossom While I sing her praises "My springtime thou art" |
D365/2, Trauerwalzer | ||
| (All). Oh how the world laughs in
spring-time 'Tis ever known as Love's own ring-time Why are we waiting ? The birds are mating In ev'ry tree they chirp and sing And in the green forest bowers We'll twine a wreath of snowy flowers Why do we tarry ? It's time to marry Come pluck the blossoms of the Spring |

| 6 | Schubert, Mitzi Duet: Song of Love |
(Schubert). Once upon a time, In a kingdom by the sea, Lived a young prince sad and lonely, (Mitzi).Under enchantement of magic mystery, (Schubert). To be set free by one only. (Mitzi). Weary he waited while years sped along, Came then a maid pure and holy, (Schubert). Love broke the spell so the story books tell, (Mitzi). And he laid at her feet this song: |
|
| (Schubert). You are my song of love, melody immortal, Echo of paradise, Heard through Heaven's portal |
Symphony No 8 in B minor (Unfinished), D759 1st Mvt Theme | ||
| (Mitzi). Soft your music is singing,
bringing Secrets sweet in its song to me, (Schubert). Your vision shines on me from above. (Both). You are my song of songs, All the glory of love. |
|||
| 7 | Ensemble Finale: There is on old Vienna Town |
(Schober). There is in old Vienna
Town, A dwelling trim and neat, And like a cot that's build for doves, There dwell within three little loves, The house of these three maidens fair, Is known both far and near, But very soon a honeymoon, Will claim two maidens dear. |
|
| (Fritzi, Kitzi, Mitzi). Fritzi and
Kitzi and Mitzi, they say Flutter their wings for they'll soon fly away. (Schober). Tho' they may fly as birdlings do They'll always be your daughters true. (Fritzi, Kitzi, Mitzi). Fritzi and Kitzi and Mitzi, the three Dear little maids will soon married be. (Schober). May you be blest with happiness And while the sunset fades Let ev'ry boy here wish them joy, Three (All). Happy Maids. |

| 8 | Schubert, Hansy | Moment Musical | |
| 9 | Schober, Binder, Erkmann, Mitzi,
Fritzi, Kitzi Sextet: Love is a riddle |
You must make a guess When you are seeking married happiness, You may say yes - you may say no - It's hard to tell which way the riddle will go. But that's just the same - love's never tame, though fortune is a most capricious dame. So take a chance upon a yes or no, And if you're lucky, you'll win the game. |

| 10 | Bellabrunna, Schober Duet: Let Me awake |
(Bellabruna). Don't believe that you
can flaunt me, and with your new passion taunt me, Call yourself a man of honor jilting me a Prima Donna ! (Schober) Madame I vow you must not make this row (Bellabruna). With my heart you dared to trifle and with jealousy I stifle (Schober). Don't make a fuss, there's nothing to discuss You'd like to fight, All through the day and night (Bellabruna). And before my anger dies out, I would like to scratch your eyes out (Schober). Stop this noise I pray, (Bellabruna). I'm full of woe, (Schober). What will people say ? (Bellabruna). I love you so. (Schober). Kindly go away. (Bellabruna). I will not go. (Schober). Please madam go. |
|
| (Bellabruna). Let me awake the passion
we plighted With all my charms aind in my arms Our hearts will once again be united You'll know the bliss of my tender kiss (Schober). Oh, lady fair, Love cannot awaken At your sweet will for all your skill When his parting flight he has taken He'll come no more as he did of yore. (Both). A joy once past can never return And ashes that are dead can never burn (Schober). So farewell, smile as we part, (Bellabruna). Nay, stay! you have my heart, (Schober). Roses can't bloom on forever, Sooner or later we two must sever. (Both). Goodbye my friend, I'll think of ever, My old sweetheart. |

| 11 | Mitzi, Schubert Duet: Tell me daisy |
(Mitzi). Tell me daisy, silently, What my future fate will be, Whisper if I shall posess, Maidens greatest happiness; (Schubert). Will she listen to my plea, Is such joy in store for me ? (Mitzi). Tell me little forest flow'r, Do you bring love's golden dow'r ? Let your silver petals say, All the truth this very day; (Schubert). Shall I know the tender measure of her love this happy day (Mitzi). Close I feel his presence near, Will he conquer all his fear ? (Schubert). Will she listen to my yearning, Will she let me hold her near ? (Mitzi). Then tell me flow'r of fate If he will be my mate ! |
|
| Speak ! daisy, yes or no ! What will your answer be ? Do you bring bliss or woe, Sunshine or misery ? In his heart is there a flame ? Brightly burning to my name, Say little flower shall he confess, All of his loneliness. Speak ! daisy, yes or no ! What will your answer be ? Do you bring bliss or woe, Sunshine or misery ? (Schubert). Now is my turn my fate I'll learn, What does the future hold daisy gold Speak, daisy yes, or no. What will her answer be, Do you bring bliss or woe, Sunshine or misery ? In her heart is there a flame ? Her shy promise may I claim, Say little flower shall her love bless, All of my loneliness, Speak daisy, yes, or no, What will her answer be ? Do you bring bliss or woe ? Sunshine or misery. |

| 12 | Mitzi, Schober Duet: Only one love ever fills the heart |
(Schober). Come lift your head with
laughter, And show your pretty smile again, For sunshine follows after, On summer roses in the rain; (Mitzi). You men are ev'ryone deceivers, I'll never trust you any more, (Schober). When women are believers They may find their hearts are sore, (Mitzi). They talk of lover's fevers, When another maiden they adore, (Schober). But cease your plaintive sighing, Another tale you'll shortly tell, When cupid comes a-flying, You'll hear the wedding bell; (Mitzi). I'm sure that I'' never wed ! (Schober). Quite often I've heard that said, (Mitzi). Forever with love I am done, (Schober). But there'll come, Just the one: |
Die Forelle (D550) |
| (Schober). Only one love ever fills
the heart, Only one voice makes the pulses start, Only one can delight us Turn our sadness into brightness There's no happiness apart, from that one only (Mitzi). Sunlight shines brighter when he is there, Darkest clouds fade into bluest air, All joy glows in one only And without him life is lonely, (Both). Only one that can make us care. |

Schwind, Kupelweiser Quartet: Keep it dark |
(Bellabrunna). Can't you men
unsympathetic my despairing mood pathetic try to understand No helping hand I find (Vogl, Schwind, Kupelweiser) We implore you bear in mind, Lady So we're cruel we are only kind (Bellabrunna). You delight to keep me waiting, in a way exasperating with your manner bland Oh I'll wait for you outside (Vogl, Schwind, Kupelweiser) We will shortly be your guide, Lady Charming and alarming lady |
|
| (All). We should advise Keep it dark ! You'll find it wise to keep it dark ! You may be tempted a secret to tell, But if you don't it will be just as well, Don't give a handle, Keep it dark ! To any scandal Keep it dark ! Gossip will flame at the smallest spark, And the game is not worth the candle Take my advice, Keep it dark ! |
