Abendgang im Lenz op. 111b Nr. 2 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Selig, selig durch die Fluren gehn, wenn der Tag verglüht.
leuchtend in des Abends Schein, weiß der Birnbaum blüht,
selig, selig durch die Fluren gehen!

About Abendgang im Lenz op. 111b Nr. 2
In the gentle light of an evening in spring, as the day fades, the choir is invited to a peaceful walk through the meadows. The text speaks of a profound happiness found in this serene setting, enhanced by the scent of blooming pear trees and the sweet song of the thrush high in the branches. This secular German part-song for SSAA voices captures the essence of a springtime dream, with the entire spirit of the season resonating within the music. Max Reger’s setting offers a rich, homophonic texture, perfect for creating an atmosphere of tranquil joy and autumnal beauty.
