Im Maien by David Hermann Engel — Lyrics
Nun bricht aus allen Zweigen
das maienfrische Grün,
die ersten Lerchen steigen,
die ersten Veilchen blüh'n,
und golden liegen Tal und Höh'n.
O Welt, du bist so wunderschön
im Maien, im Maien!
Und wie die Knospen springen,
da regt sich's allzumal;
die muntern Vögel singen,

About Im Maien
David Hermann Engel's Im Maien is a secular German partsong for SATB choir. The text paints a vibrant picture of spring's arrival: new green shoots, singing larks, blooming violets, and golden landscapes. It marvels at the beauty of the world in May, with budding trees, cheerful birdsong, and rushing streams. The joyful, exultant mood is captured in the music, reflecting the uplifting text. This piece invites the choir to express the sheer delight and renewal associated with the springtime.
