Liebesfrühling by Johannes Wolfensperger — Lyrics
1. Wenn die Knospen alle springen,
und die Lüfte wehen lau;
wenn die Vögel wieder singen
unterm Himmel klar und blau:
Voller Sehnsucht möchtest wiegen
du mit ihnen dich, mein Herz,
über Wald und Ströme fliegen,
immer höher, himmelwärts!

About Liebesfrühling
Johannes Wolfensperger’s Liebesfrühling opens with a flowing, lyrical melody, sung in unison before blossoming into rich SATB harmony. The German text speaks of the arrival of spring, with budding blossoms, gentle breezes, and birdsong under a clear blue sky. It contrasts this natural awakening with the stirrings of human love, suggesting that the most beautiful heaven can be found not by flying away, but by gazing into the eyes of a loved one. This secular four-part song, written for mixed-voice choir, captures the essence of both the season and the heart’s desire with its warm and evocative setting.
