Spring Song (in Swedish Vårsång) is a piece composed in 1894 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The piece was initially composed as Improvisation for Orchestra in the key of D major. Sibelius recast it in F major and retitled the work in 1895 appending the subtitle The Sadness of Spring to that (unpublished) version then made final pre-publication revisions in 1902.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.
