The Worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan

Felix Mendelssohn's Spring Song (Frühlingslied) was composed in 1841, as one of the now famous eight books of Songs Without Words (Lied Ohne Wörte). Its title is an unauthorised name for his Book V, No. 30 in A, Opus 62, No 6. These lovely piano pieces contain some of his finest tunes. This one is perhaps the best known of the 'songs',

To the creative mind this bubbly, carefree, happy tune conjures up all sorts of images of Spring. One can almost see the gambolling spring lambs, the spring flowers, the gurgling stream, the birds and the ascending skylark, walks in the lanes, picnics in the fields . . .

We hope you will like our arrangement of Felix's tune. 

Go on! Let yourself go -  hum it, whistle it, paint it, dance it . . .!
