The jubilant keyboard textures and vibrant, cascading vocal lines in this contemporary festival piece will make you want to rush out and embrace the spring! A contrasting legato middle section adds an expressive touch before a return to the opening musical idea, then a joyful conclusion. This is a simply marvelous setting of the nineteenth-century poem by Mathilde Blind. "And through the clouds you shine an evanescent light divine, as through the rain life comes again..." Highly recommended!
