PD English Edition of Der englische Gruß by Brahms
-
Anyone know if there's a public domain edition of Brahms's Der englische Gruß (Gegrüßet, Maria) from Marienlieder, op. 22, in English? Or Latin??

Pepper link leads me to "Magdalen" and is about Easter.
the Brahms piece on CPDL offers an English translation of lyrics (showing Blessed Virgin Mary, not the Magdalen), which begins
1. Hail, Mary, mother of grace!
Thus sang the angels to the virgin Mary
As she struggled in prayer.
2. Mary, you shall conceive a son.
Heaven and Earth desire
For you to be the Mother of the Lord.

That's not an actual poetic text for singing. It doesn't fit with the music. ECS (Schirmer) publishes two different English versions, which are both still under copyright and hence not available for free duplication.Thanked by 1mmeladirectress

The one copyright 1970 is in alteration of the one copyright 1941. Presumably the 1941 version is now in public domain? Unfortunately, it's the SSAA version, not SATB.
