Im Wald by Niels Wilhelm Gade — Lyrics
Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein
wenn alle Knospen springen,
da mag ich gerne mittendrein eins singen.
Wie mir zu Mut in Leid und Lust,
im Wachen und im Träumen,
das stimm’ ich an aus voller Brust den Bäumen.
Und sie verstehen mich gar fein,
die Blätter alle lauschen

About Im Wald
Niels Wilhelm Gade's Im Wald is a charming secular partsong for SATB choir. The German text evokes a delightful woodland scene bathed in sunshine, a perfect setting for joyful singing. The composer captures the feeling of immersion in nature, where the very trees seem to understand and respond to the singer's heartfelt outpourings. As the music unfolds, echoing through the treetops, rocks, and bushes, the song celebrates the invigorating spirit of the outdoors and the sheer pleasure of making music amidst the greenery, with the nightingale adding its own bright melody. It is ideal for a spring or summer concert programme.
