Im Wald, Op. 3, No. 6 by Fanny Hensel — Lyrics
Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein,
wenn alle Knospen springen,
dann mag ich gerne mittendrein
eins singen.
Wie mir zu Mut in Leid und Lust,
im Wachen und im Träumen,
das stimm ich an aus voller Brust
den Bäumen.
Und sie verstehen mich gar fein,
die Blätter alle lauschen,

About Im Wald, Op. 3, No. 6
Fanny Hensel’s Im Wald paints a vivid picture of finding solace and joy in nature. The German text speaks of singing among the trees, where the leaves listen and rustle in response. It describes the feeling of profound connection with the natural world, enhanced by the song of the nightingale. The music is meant to express the singer’s inner feelings, leading to exhilaration and a desire to sing out freely amid the greenery. This secular SATB partsong captures a moment of pure, uninhibited delight, reflecting the composer's sensitive musical interpretation of the text's evocative imagery.
