After the big success of the Nursery Rhyme Collection in England producer and arranger Ian Watts and his German co-arranger Mike Wilbury decided to launch a similar project with traditional German Songs. Most tunes came up centuries ago but some tracks are actually brand new, exclusively written for this collection.
Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen |
Now Spring Wants To Hail Us |

Background notesAnother traditional German Folk Song, dating back to the 19th century. The words are quite old fashioned, regarding both the grammar and the actual vocabulary. The word “Lenz” is an old German word for “spring”. Today it is used only very rarely, instead the words “Frühling” or “Frühjahr” are used to talk about the spring season. The lyrics are all about the awakening nature in spring time and also the awakening joy of life. The lyrics were written by Karl Ströse, the composer is unknown. |
