’Tis Spring! by Louis A. Coerne — Lyrics
A bluebell springs upon the ledge,
A lark sits singing in the hedge;
Sweet perfumes scent the balmy air,
And life is brimming everywhere.
What lark and breeze and bluebird sing,
Is Spring, Spring, Spring!
No more the air is sharp and cold;
The planter wends across the wold,
And, glad, beneath the shining sky

About ’Tis Spring!
Louis A. Coerne's 'Tis Spring! is a delightful SATB setting of an English text celebrating the arrival of the spring season. The composer captures the joyous spirit of renewal, with lyrics describing blue-bells, singing larks, and balmy air. The music reflects this vibrant imagery, moving from the gentle awakening of nature to the shared joy of a couple wandering under a shining sky. The text poetically links the universal song of spring with the enduring themes of life and love. This secular part-song offers a charming musical expression of nature's rebirth and the happiness it inspires, perfect for a choir looking to program a piece filled with light and optimism.
