Im külen Mäyen / Im kühlen Maien by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
Im külen Mäyen,
thun sich all ding erfreuen,
die Blümlein auf dem Feld,
sich auch verneuen,
und singen d’Mäidlein in irem Räyen,
willkommen Mäyen,
zwei liebe Hertzen,
sein voller Freud und Schertzen,
Im schatten kül vergessen
alles schmertzen.
Cupido blind, das garlistige Kind,
gsellt sich darzu,

About Im külen Mäyen / Im kühlen Maien
Hans Leo Hassler's Im kühlen Maien is a joyous German secular partsong for double choir (SATB.SATB). The music opens with a delightful interplay of the two choirs, setting a scene of nature awakening in cool May. The text celebrates the renewal of spring and the delight of young women dancing and singing. It speaks of two hearts filled with pleasure and mirth, forgetting all sorrow in the cool shade. The playful god Cupid and the goddess Venus bless this union, guiding two hearts to move in love. The music reflects this lightheartedness, ideal for a festive occasion.
