Auringon noustessa by Toivo Kuula — Lyrics
Nää, oi mun sieluni,
auringon korkea nousu
ylitse kivisen
kaupungin kattojen, katuin,
ylitse vuossatain valheen
ja tunti entus kan,
koitta vakirkkaus!
Nää, oi mun sieluni,
katoovan elämän autuus!
Niin kuin ääretön temppeli
on se sun eessäs,

About Auringon noustessa
Toivo Kuula was a Finnish composer known for his evocative settings of Finnish poetry. Auringon noustessa, a secular part-song for SATB choir, exemplifies his lyrical style. The Finnish text, which translates to 'As the Sun Rises', is deeply philosophical, urging the soul to witness the rising sun over the city and contemplating the fleeting nature of life. It speaks of finding eternal truth and peace even in darkness and suffering. The music is likely to reflect these contrasting themes of dawn's brilliance and life's transient beauty, offering a rich emotional journey for both singers and listeners.
