Er ist's, Op. 21, No. 1 by Hermann Goetz — Lyrics
Er ist's
Frühling lässt sein blaues Band
wieder flattern durch die Lüfte,
süsse, wohlbekannte Düfte
streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.

About Er ist's, Op. 21, No. 1
Hermann Goetz’s setting of Er ist's captures the exhilaration of spring's arrival. The text describes the blue ribbon of spring fluttering through the air, sweet, familiar scents hinting at the coming season. Tiny violets dream of appearing soon, and from afar, the gentle sound of a harp is heard. The choir sings of spring, a joyous recognition of its presence. This SATB setting is a delightful secular German part-song, perfect for conveying the freshness and optimism of the season.
