Der Frühlingsabend by Salomon Burckhardt — Lyrics
1. Es feiert der Wald, es schweiget die Flur,
noch tönt mein Loblied dir, Mutter Natur;
dem Morgen, der selige Freuden versprach,
dem folgen am Abend noch seelgere nach.
2. Hier pranget ein Kranz von duftendem Grün,
den fröhlich Myrte und Rosen umblühn;

About Der Frühlingsabend
Salomon Burckhardt’s Der Frühlingsabend is a setting for TTBB male voices of a German secular text. The music reflects the poem’s imagery of nature and love. The opening section captures the joyful celebration of spring, with the voices weaving together to depict the vibrant atmosphere of the forest and fields. As the poem progresses, the music shifts to evoke a more intimate scene, perhaps the shady resting place mentioned in the second stanza. The final section contemplates the enduring nature of love and memory, with the harmony and melodic lines creating a sense of quiet reflection. This partsong offers a rich musical experience, suitable for a concert program.
