In pride of May by Giuseppe Ferrata — Lyrics
In pride of May
The fields are gay,
The birds do sweetly sing.
So nature would
That all things should
With joy begin the Spring.
Then Lady dear,

About In pride of May
A joyful celebration of springtime, Giuseppe Ferrata’s In pride of May sets an English text that evokes the beauty of the season, with fields in bloom and birds singing. The composer urges the listener’s lady to appear and share in this natural delight, suggesting that her presence will inspire even greater cheer. This setting for SATB choir captures the lighthearted mood of the text, making it a fitting choice for concerts or festive occasions during the spring months. Its origins as a secular part-song for mixed voices lend it a classic charm.
