Hell in's Fenster, Op. 38, No. 7 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Hell in's Fenster scheint die Sonne,
scheint in's Herz mir Himmelswonne,
und was kalt ist, dumpf und weh,
taut sie weg wie Maienschnee.
Winter weint die hellsten Tränen,
und ich fühle Frühlingssehnen;

About Hell in's Fenster, Op. 38, No. 7
Max Reger’s Hell in's Fenster opens with a bright, evocative depiction of spring’s arrival. The music captures the feeling of the sun melting away winter’s cold, bringing a sense of heavenly bliss and longing for renewal. The TTBB arrangement reflects the text’s imagery of warmth and joy, with the voices weaving together to express the fresh sensations of spring. The text speaks of a time for happiness and delight, urging the listener to embrace this fleeting moment of bliss. This secular German part-song is a vivid musical expression of nature’s transformation and the emotional response it inspires.
