Frühlingslied, JWV 117 by Josef Rheinberger — Lyrics
Sei mir gegrüßt, du stilles Tal!
Du milde Frühlingssonne, du milde Frühlingssonne!
Wie gießet doch dein goldner Strahl
in's Herz mit Liebeswonne, Liebeswonne!
O rausche nur, du klarer Bach

About Frühlingslied, JWV 117
The composer welcomes spring in this German partsong, celebrating the gentle sunshine, the murmuring stream, and the awakening flowers. He longs for his own heart to be healed by this vernal joy, as the sounds of spring are echoed by greetings from every tree. Written for SATB choir, this secular piece captures the tender sentiments of the season, where nature's beauty inspires hope and a sense of renewal. The lush harmonies likely reflect the rich, evocative imagery of the German text, painting a vivid sonic picture of a landscape bathed in the golden light of spring and filled with the promise of love and healing.
