In Gedanken bin i bei dir — SATB Choir Sheet Music
A tender Carinthian folk song by Hedi Preissegger, professionally arranged for SATB Choir & Piano by Paul Lorenz
The title translates simply: “In my thoughts, I am with you.” Composed by Hedi Preissegger — Carinthia’s most celebrated living composer of Kärntner folk choral music — “In Gedanken bin i bei dir” has become one of Austria’s most quietly profound folk songs, performed at cultural galas, farewell evenings, Advent concerts, and memorial services for decades. Its gentle four-part harmony and warm melodic simplicity carry an emotional weight that most concert repertoire only aspires to.
This professional SATB choir arrangement by Paul Lorenz preserves everything that defines the Kärntner folk tradition: the warm triadic voice leading, the singable melody, and the emotional directness of the original. The piano accompaniment adds concert-hall fullness that unaccompanied versions cannot achieve, while the enclosed Carinthian dialect pronunciation guide ensures authentic performance by any ensemble — Austrian or international. With 600 DPI resolution and a performance license included, this SATB choir sheet music edition is performance-ready the moment you download it.
