Celebrating the change to Spring, the Academy Chamber Ensemble perform Grieg's Våren (The Last Spring) arranged for strings. Performed on tour in Lanzarote 2024. Violin I Tomo Keller Harvey de Souza Violin II Martin Burgess Jennifer Godson Viola Robert Smissen Fiona Bonds Cello Alice Neary Will Schofield Yes, once again winter’s face would I see to Spring’s glory waning, whitethorn outspreading its clusters so free in beauty enchaining. Once more behold from the earth day by day the ice disappearing, snow melting fast and in thunder and spray the river, careering. Emerald meadows, your flow’rets I’ll spy and hail each new comer; listen again to the lark in the sky who warbles of summer. Glittering sunbeams how fain would I watch on bright hillocks glancing, butterflies seeking from blossoms to snatch their treasures while dancing. Spring’s many joys once again would I taste ere fade they forever. But, heavy-hearted, I feel that I haste from this world to sever. So be it then! yet in Nature so fair much bliss I could find me; over and past is my plentiful share, I leave all behind me.
