Spring

Весна

For unaccompanied women's voices (?1871).

History

This chorus was lost for many years, until a printed edition of the score was discovered in the early 1990s [1]. It was probably commissioned by Karl Albrecht for his Handbook of Choral Singing [2], which was approved for publication by the state censor on 3/15 June 1871.
