In April time by Ciro Pinsuti — Lyrics
In April time, in April days,
Then first the sunshine seems
As though its smile of morning rays
Had woke from happy dreams,
Unheeding all the fitful shower
That through the rainbow breaks,
The shining leaf, the beaming flower
In April time awakes,
In April time,
Sweet April time,
Bright April time awakes!

About In April time
Ciro Pinsuti's delightful SATB partsong, In April time, is a celebration of springtime and renewal. Written in English, this secular piece captures the essence of April's gentle showers and returning sunshine, portraying nature awakening with joy. The lyrics evoke a sense of optimism, suggesting that even fleeting shadows cannot dim the happiness of life's early hours. The music likely reflects this mood with bright harmonies and a flowing melodic line, making it an engaging and uplifting choice for mixed choirs. Its accessible nature and positive sentiment would have made it a popular addition to the choral repertoire of its time.
