"Niedersachsenlied" by Hermann Grote Performed on Sunday, April 19th, 2026 at Kenyon College Brandi Recital Hall, Gambier, Ohio, United States Pianist: Christa Brady Translation From the Weser to the Elbe, from the Harz to the sea, Stand Lower Saxony’s sons, a fortress great and strong. Steady like our oak trees, we stand through all the ages When storms brew over the German Fatherland We are the Lower Saxons, stormproof and down to earth, Hail Duke Widukind’s tribe! Who fell the Roman eagle? Who sank the foreign brute? In Lower Saxony’s mountains, of Lower Saxons’ wrath! Who threw the Roman eagle kneeling in the sand? Who upheld freedom in the German Fatherland? That was the Lower Saxons, stormproof and down to earth, Hail Duke Widukind’s tribe! Disclaimer: This is an old folk song whose lyrics describe the ancient Lower Saxon tribe defeating the Roman Empire in battle during antiquity. It has nothing to do with Nazi Germany. Singer Soren Roeser and pianist Christa Brady, who perform in this video, violently oppose Nazism, fascism, antisemitism, racism, homophobia, eugenics, imperialism, militarism, and dictatorship.
