Die Jahreszeiten by Joseph Franz Haydn — Lyrics

I. Der Frühling (Spring) 1. Ouverture and recitative Simon Seht, wie der strenge Winter flieht! Zum fernen Pole zieht er hin. Ihm folgt auf seinen Ruf der wilden Stürme brausend Heer, mit grässlichem Geheul. Lucas Seht, wie vom schroffen Fels der Schnee In trüben Strömen sich ergießt! Hannah Seht, wie von Süden her, durch laue Winde sanft gelockt, der Frühlingsbote streicht! 2. Chorus of country people Komm, holder Lenz! Des Himmels Gabe, komm! Aus ihrem Todesschlaf erwecke die Natur! Komm! Komm, holder Lenz! etc. Girls and women Es nahet sich der holde Lenz, schon fühlen wir den linden Hauch, bald lebet alles wieder auf.

About Die Jahreszeiten

The opening of Haydn's Die Jahreszeiten, Spring, immediately captures the awakening of nature. The music conjures the retreat of winter's harshness and the arrival of new life. The SATB chorus, sung in German, swells with the joy of the season, depicting the earth rising from its slumber. Moments of delicate beauty, perhaps evoking the gentle breezes of spring, are contrasted with the exhilaration of rebirth. This is a vivid musical depiction of nature's renewal, a powerful expression of the forces that drive the natural world. The oratorio as a whole is a grand reflection on the cyclical progress of the year, and this section sets the scene with vibrant energy.
