Some of the songs, however, were written and composed by Zuccalmaglio in the sense of a romantic Volkslied concept ("im Sinne eines romantischen Volksliedkonzeptes").

[4] These include "Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit", which he published under the title Abendlied (Evening Song) on page 494 as No.

The singers express admiration of the beautiful country, and hope for similar gatherings in the future, God's grace permitting.

Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit als hier das unsre weit und breit, wo wir uns finden wohl untern Linden zur Abendzeit.

Jetzt, Brüder, eine gute Nacht, der Herr im hohen Himmel wacht; in seiner Güten uns zu behüten, ist er bedacht!

[10] The melody was used in choral works such as Hans Lang's Kein schöner Land, a play for a two-part youth choir, Otto Jochum's An die Heimat: sein Werk beschauend., Op.

152, a suite of variations, and Hermann Erdlen's Kleine Hausmusik zum Singen und Spielen über das Volkslied "Kein schöner Land".

Modern arrangements include Dieter Süverkrüp [de]'s "Ein schönes Land" (1963) and a version of the folk-rock group Ougenweide (1980).

[4] The first line was used for song books, recording collections and television, including the series by Günter Wewel, Kein schöner Land about regions,[11] and the political satire in six episodes Kein schöner Land [de] directed by Klaus Emmerich after a script by Elke Heidenreich and Bernd Schroeder.
