Frühlingslied|Sechs Lieder, Op. 6 by Otto Nicolai — Lyrics
1. Da kommt von den blauen Hügeln
der Frühling wieder an,
nun schlägt mit den bunten Flügeln,
was eben fliegen kann.
Juchheisa trala! der Frühling ist da!
2. Die Vogel in grünen Zweigen,
Treuliebe in der Brust,
das will sich nun alles zeigen

About Frühlingslied|Sechs Lieder, Op. 6
Otto Nicolai's Frühlingslied is a joyful SATB setting of German secular text, celebrating the arrival of spring. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of nature awakening, with birds returning and building nests, mirroring the burgeoning of new love and life. The music captures this sense of exhilaration and fresh beginnings, likely reflecting the vibrant spirit of the Romantic era's German part-songs. The recurring refrain, 'Juchheisa trala! der Frühling ist da!' (Hooray trala! Spring is here!), encapsulates the unbridled optimism and delight associated with the season's renewal. This piece offers a delightful opportunity for choirs to express the exuberance of nature's rebirth through rich, blended SATB harmonies.
