Hi Hermann This turned out to be a more complicated question than I expected! The song as most people know it was written by Heinrich Albert, as for example at: http://www.ggstanko.de/Melodien%20und%20Liedertexte/Aenchen/aenchen.html but apparently the first version was by Simon Dach in niederdeutsch - and had a full seventeen verses. "Das Lied "Ännchen von Tharau" wurde 1637 zunächst in samländischer Mundart (Ostpreußen) von Simon Dach (1605 - 1659) geschrieben ('Anke von Tharaw'). Die ersten beiden Zeilen lauten im Original: Anke von Tharaw öß, de my geföllt, se öß mihn Lewen, mihn Goet on mihn Gölt. Die Melodie schrieb ursprünglich Heinrich Albert (1604 - 1651) dazu. 1778 übertrug J.G. Herder das Lied ins Hochdeutsche ('Ännchen von Tharau') und im Jahr 1825 komponierte Friedrich Silcher eine neue Melodie, die heute wesentlich bekannter ist als das Original von Albert." see: http://www.asatru-online.de/lieder/aennchen.htm and more information on the song's origins at: http://www.reise-nach-ostpreussen.de/Aennchen/AevTharau.html Modern versions stick at six verses. See: http://www.hift-folksongs.de/TexteFolk/a/aennchen.htm or the version at: http://www.enet.ru/~kc/LIEDER/aennchen.htm Hope this is helpful but let me know if you need any clarification. By the way, my search strategy was to try out different versions of the spelling, substituting an "e" for the umlaut, for example. |

Couldn't get it on Google search. We do have some German researchers. They should be able to find it out |

Here is a nice page with links to a midi of the melody of Ännchen von Tharau, a brief musical score, and numerous CD recordings (available through Amazon): http://www.grainger.de/music/songs/aechenvontharau.html |
