Late in Spring is an a cappella choral work that reflects on the quiet, reflective atmosphere of a garden in the final weeks of spring. At this moment in the season, beauty and melancholy often coexist: the fullness of growth is present, yet there is already a gentle awareness that the season will soon pass.
The piece opens with a call from the basses, inviting the listener — as if opening a gate — to step into the garden and observe the scene. This musical gesture serves as a quiet summons to contemplation, setting the tone for what follows. In the second stanza the upper voices take up the narrative, describing a solitary rose standing beside a wall. Their lines bring another color to the music while the lower voices join.
Written in a flowing 3/4 metre, the music maintains a gentle sense of motion throughout, suggesting the subtle movement of the garden: a soft breeze, the slow passage of time, and the delicate life of late spring. In this way the work seeks to capture a moment that is at once serene, wistful, and quietly alive.
The text and composition are both written by Annemieke Lustenhouwer. The last page of the score contains the full text.
