Frühlingseinzug by Armin Früh — Lyrics
Es jagen die Wolken in eilendem Flug.
Warum so flüchtig voran?
Der spielend sie über die Berge hin trug,
die Nebel zerstreuet in einem Zug:
Der Lenz, er öffnet die Bahn.
Es hallt aus der Ferne ein ernster Gesang.
O sprich: Wem stimmen sie an?
Sie folgen hoch oben dem mächtigen Drang
und fahren im Sturme vom jähen Hang:
Der Lenz, er schreitet voran.

About Frühlingseinzug
Composed by Armin Früh, this SSAA setting of German secular poetry offers a vivid musical depiction of spring’s arrival. The text describes the movement of clouds, the sounds of distant song, and the awakening of nature, all culminating in the triumphant entry of Lenz, the spirit of spring. Früh captures the dynamic energy of the season, from the hurried flight of clouds to the joyous rush of streams and the blossoming of flowers. The rich texture for women’s voices enhances the evocative imagery, creating an immersive experience of spring’s vibrant renewal. This piece is well-suited for a choir seeking to explore expressive, nature-inspired German repertoire.
