Er ist's op. 111b Nr. 3 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Frühling läßt sein blaues Band
wieder flattern durch die Lüfte;
süße, wohlbekannte Düfte
streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.
Veilchen träumen schon,

About Er ist's op. 111b Nr. 3
Max Reger's Er ist's, op. 111b Nr. 3, is a setting of a secular German text for SSAA choir. It captures the essence of spring's arrival, with the 'blue ribbon' of the season fluttering through the air and sweet, familiar scents drifting over the land. The lyrics speak of violets dreaming of blossoming soon and the faint sound of a harp, culminating in the joyful recognition: 'Spring, yes it is you! I have heard you!' Reger's composition brings this vibrant imagery and jubilant anticipation to life, offering a delightful challenge for a skilled female choir. This is a fine example of German choral writing from the late Romantic period, rich in harmonic color and expressive detail.
