| Misc. Notes
|
Can't tell without some German-language copy of the original whether Cragin's text is a close or free translation. (Es is so still die Maiennacht / The lovely night is calm and still are the two contrasting first lines, so not the same exactly but pretty close?)

Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1876), p.290.
The end of no.2 suggests a sacred purpose and resolves into a lengthy sort of Amen (at least as translated by Cragin- I am guessing that it is similar in Speidel's original) but am not certain that this is enough to categorize it as a sacred chorus, as most of the brief work and poem does not seem to carry such connotations.
