Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth (重生) and new life. The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees have new leaves and the flowers are blooming (开花). The season stands for hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece—Spring, which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.
However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness (不安) or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely and sad during this season.
Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, Spring Will be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed (延迟)? Because the singer’s lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn’s version (版本) of the song came out in 1953.
By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” OK, then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When It’s Spring time in the Rockies in 1937.
And finally, we’ll leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio plays it.
