Gavotte Louise XV op. 8 by Knut Håkanson — Lyrics
Lätt jag skrider fram på sirlig fot,
mot morgon lider det ljust i sommartider,
Luna sprider milt sitt bleka hot
på daggig mark och sjö och park.
Jullen glider tyst på livets ström,
mot morgon lider det ljust i sommartider.

About Gavotte Louise XV op. 8
Knut Håkanson's Gavotte Louise XV is a secular work for SATB choir. The Swedish text paints a picture of summer evenings and mornings, with lyrical imagery of gliding feet, moonlight, and journeys along a broad pavé. This gentle progression shifts towards a more somber winter scene, where paths narrow and darkness prevails. The music likely reflects these changing moods, offering a reflective yet engaging piece for mixed choirs. Its evocative language and contrasting seasonal settings provide fertile ground for expressive interpretation, making it suitable for moments of quiet contemplation or delicate storytelling within a concert program.
