Frühlingslust by Johann Philipp Christian Schulz — Lyrics
1. Blumen blühn im Wiesengrunde,
und die Wälder grünen hell;
seine silberhelle Kunde
plätschert uns der grüne Quell.
Blüten streun' die weichen Bäume
unter zarte Frühlingsträume
in den Schlummer sanft hinein,
in das Leben hell und rein.
2. Herzen sind der Freud' erschlossen,
aufgeblüht, den Blu.men gleich;
was in sie sich neu ergossen,
macht den Menschen froh und reich.
Mit so freundlichen Gestalten
darf das Herz mit Freiheit schalten;
wo die Lust sich sanfter regt,
ihr das Herz entgegen schlägt.

About Frühlingslust
Johann Philipp Christian Schulz’s Frühlingslust is a secular partsong for TTBB voices, sung in German. The music opens with a sense of bright, flowing energy, conjuring images of nature awakening in spring. The parts move with considerable independence, creating a rich, sonorous texture. As the piece progresses, the vocal lines intertwine to express the joy and liberation of the season, mirroring the blooming flowers and the opening of the heart to happiness. The text speaks of the renewed life and pleasure that spring brings, inviting the singer’s soul to embrace this vibrant feeling. This is a lively and celebratory composition, ideal for a male choir seeking to convey the exuberance of nature and inner delight.
