Die Lust hat mich gezwungen / Frühjahrsliedchen by Heinrich Albert — Lyrics
Die Lust hat mich gezwungen
zu fahren in den Wald,
wo durch der Vögel Zungen
die ganze Luft erschallt.
Ihr lebt ohn alle Sorgen
und lobt die Güt und Macht
des Schöpfers, von dem Morgen
bis in die späte Nacht.

About Die Lust hat mich gezwungen / Frühjahrsliedchen
Heinrich Albert's Die Lust hat mich gezwungen paints a charming scene of spring and nature, inspired by the singing of birds in the forest. The German text expresses a wish to emulate the birds' simple joy and their unburdened praise of the Creator. It contrasts their carefree existence with human striving for worldly treasures, suggesting that we too might learn to live with less worry and greater devotion. This secular TTBB setting captures the lighthearted and philosophical mood of the poem, offering a delightful exploration of nature's inspiration for the male choir.
