Er ist's! by Robert Franz — Lyrics
About Er ist's!
Robert Franz's Er ist's! is a secular German partsong for SATB choir. The text, drawn from Eduard Mörike's poem, rejoices in the arrival of spring. It paints a vivid picture of nature awakening: the sky unfurls its blue banner, familiar scents drift across the land, and violets dream of emerging. A distant harp can be heard, heralding the season's return. The music captures this sense of joyful anticipation and the freshness of spring's embrace, making it a vibrant addition to any choral programme.
