Awake! Awake! for the Spring has come by Thomas P. Murphy — Lyrics
Awake! Awake! for the Spring has come,
Lift up your voices in joy,
Raise loud your song, for life is young,
And the birds with the blossoms toy.
The streamlets run as if mad with fun,
Through meadows, oh so green,

About Awake! Awake! for the Spring has come
Thomas P. Murphy’s part-song Awake! Awake! for the Spring has come is a joyful celebration of nature’s renewal. Set to an English text, this SATB piece vividly portrays the awakening of the natural world after winter. The music captures the exuberance of spring, with imagery of birdsong, blooming flowers, and lively streams. The composer effectively conveys the delight and energy of the season, contrasting it with the departed dreariness of winter. This piece is ideal for SATB choirs looking to explore charming secular repertoire that offers a sense of fresh vitality and lightheartedness.
