Frühlingsszene, Op. 48, No. 4 by Franz Wilhelm Abt — Lyrics
Schneeglöckchen läuten, klingen,
die Silberbächlein springen,
der Winter zieht vorbei,
der Frühling kommt auf's neu.
Die Blümchen sorglich blicken
und still zufrieden nicken,
und senden ihren Duft
ins Meer der stillen Luft.

About Frühlingsszene, Op. 48, No. 4
Franz Wilhelm Abt’s Frühlingsszene is a joyful celebration of spring, perfect for a spring concert or festival. The SATB choir brings to life the imagery of the awakening natural world: the ringing snowdrops, bubbling streams, and the return of the flowers sending their scent into the air. The text speaks of the larks ascending and singing their morning hymns, culminating in the singer’s own heartfelt outburst expressing the beauty of the world in this season of rebirth. Abt’s setting is a wonderfully effective example of a German secular partsong, capturing the exuberance of the season.
