Ein frisches Lied im Walde, Op. 312, No. 1 by Franz Wilhelm Abt — Lyrics
Wie herrlich klingt ein frisches Lied
in stillen Waldesräumen,
und rings umher es grünt und blüht
in Sträuchern und in Bäumen.
Wenn blau der Himmel, lau die Luft
und heiter lacht die Sonne,
und tausendfält'ger Blütenduft
erfüllt das Herz mit Wonne.
Da kommen all die Vögelein
herbei mit leichten Schwingen,
um ihre lust'gen Melodei'n
laut jubelnd drein zu singen!

About Ein frisches Lied im Walde, Op. 312, No. 1
Franz Wilhelm Abt’s Ein frisches Lied im Walde, Op. 312, No. 1, is a delightful four-part setting for male voices. The German lyrics paint a vivid picture of a fresh song echoing through quiet forest spaces, where nature abounds with greenery and blossoms. The text evokes the warmth of the sun, the scent of flowers, and the cheerful singing of birds, all contributing to a feeling of joy and contentment. This secular German part-song, also available in an English translation, captures the serene beauty and vibrant life of the woodland, offering a moment of pure bliss and deep appreciation for the natural world.
