Blütenmond by Gustav Graben-Hoffmann — Lyrics
Liedchen erkling,
schwing dich und bring
Blumenhauch, Maienluft,
blühend in Wortesduft!
Liedchen erkling!
Liedchen erkling,
schwing dich und sing;
Sterne an Sterne glüh'n,

About Blütenmond
Gustav Graben-Hoffmann was a prolific German composer of the Romantic era, known for his Lieder and partsongs. Blütenmond is a secular work for SSAA voices, sung in German. The text evokes the beauty of springtime, with imagery of blossoming flowers, fresh air, and the light of stars. The song urges the listener's own 'little song' to awaken and join in the celebration of nature's renewal. It speaks of a thousand kinds of song and sound now awakened, with spring having arrived overnight. The music likely reflects this joyous and effervescent mood, characteristic of German partsongs from the period.
