Franz Liszt - We Are Not Mummies, S.90/3b

“Wir sind nicht Mumien”, alternatively known as “We Are Not Mummies” when translated from German to English, is a secular composition by Franz Liszt for male choir (two tenors and two basses). Liszt first wrote the work in 1842 as the premier movement of “Vierstimmige Männergesänge”, and later revised it in around 1860-1861 as the third movement of “Für Männergesang”. Humphrey Searle, Liszt’s biographer, gives the first version the catalogue number “90/3a”, while the second version (used in this video) is designated as “90/3b”. The librettist is the German poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, from whose poem “Gottlob” Liszt took the lyrics. Liszt’s rendition contains three functionally identical verses, each sung with roughly the same melody.
