Im Meyen hoert man die Hane kreen by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
Im meyen, im meyen hört man die hanen kreen,
freu dich du schöns braun megetlein,
hilf mir den habern säen,
bist mir vil lieber dann der knecht,
ich tu dir deine alte recht.
Es seinde zwölf monat im ganzen langen jare,
das sagen uns die weisen ganz und gar für ware,
ein jedes hat sein eigne art,
einer der zert, der ander spart.

About Im Meyen hoert man die Hane kreen
This cheerful German part-song for SATB voices opens with imitative entries, quickly establishing a lively and engaging mood. The music reflects the joyful spirit of the text, which speaks of the joys of May and a preference for a young woman over a servant. The composer masterfully weaves the four voices together, creating a rich texture that enhances the rustic charm of the lyrics. The piece captures the essence of secular Renaissance part-music, with its clear melodic lines and harmonious interplay. It is a delightful choice for choirs looking to present spirited and engaging Renaissance repertoire.
