Frühlingswanderlied by Johannes Pache — Lyrics
1. Nun ist die schöne Frühlingszeit
nun geht es an ein Wandern;
bald geht's allein, bald geht's zu zwei'n,
bald trifft man sich mit andern.
Wie junges Grün und Sonnenschein,
so muss beim Lenz das Wandern sein,
das frische, frohe Wandern,
la la la la la la,
das frische Wandern.
2. Welch' hohe Lust ist Liederlust,
kann sie in's Weite schallen,
im grünen Hain die Vögelein,
die treiben's nach Gefallen.
Wie junges Grün und Sonnenschein,

About Frühlingswanderlied
This four-part German partsong celebrates the joys of spring and the open road. The text paints a vivid picture of the season, with its young green shoots and sunshine, urging singers to embrace the wandering spirit. It speaks of going out alone, in pairs, or with others, and suggests that singing and wandering are the perfect companions to this time of year. The composer encourages us to seize the day, as song and travel can banish self-serving worries. The piece evokes a sense of lightheartedness and connection with nature, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings or as a refreshing item in a spring concert programme.
