Vårsång

Vårsång

Vårsång, Swedish for "Spring Song," is a piece composed in 1894 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Initially the F major "Spring Song" was first composed as a D major "Improvisation for Orchestra." Sibelius recasted and retitled the work in 1895, appending the subtitle "The Sadness of Spring" to that (unpublished) version, then made final, pre-publication revisions in 1902. The piece contains an optimism that is relatively rare among Sibelius' works. It is known for its prominent use of bells at the end of the song.
