Voices of Spring (Frühlingsstimmen ) was originally a brilliant show piece for soprano Bianca Bianchi. The text of the piece are about the songs of the lark and nightengale as the fields and meadows break into their springtime splendor. The piece was so popular it was encored on the spot, and Strauss, being an excellent businessman, arranged the piece immediately (17 days) for orchestra.
