Das erste Grün by August Härtel — Lyrics
1. Du erstes Grün nach Wintertagen,
du Gruß vom jungen Frühlingsmorgen,
du sprosstest auf, um mir zu sagen:
Gib nun den Winden Gram und Sorgen!

About Das erste Grün
Das erste Grün is a four-part secular German songs setting words that celebrate the arrival of spring after winter. The text expresses joy and renewed hope, comparing the fresh green shoots to a greeting from a young spring morning. The composer August Härtel captures this optimistic mood in his setting for SATB choir. The lyrics speak of the earth showering blessings and the sky opening up, reinforcing the sense of renewal and divine favour associated with the changing seasons. It is a delightful piece for choirs looking for expressive German repertoire.
