I love this song! It clearly paints the image of an evening in late spring. So lovely!

I'm baffled... how can anyone "dislike" this wonderful ~ and *very* challenging to perform ~ 8-part jazz arrangement by Ward Swingle!? Certainly more zippy than Thomas Morley's contemporary (c.1600s) arrangement of Willie Shake's song!

The line Gene Wilder sings is from the Arthur Frackenpohl arrangement.

@IamaPoohnatic
Could you tell me where I could listen to a version of that, I've been searching forever.

@dragonheart4life I've never found a recording of it, but if you google "Lovers Love the Spring" and "Arthur Frackenpohl", you should be able to track down sheet music.

Hi. There was another version of this song recorded by a group that sounded quite a bit like the Swingle Singers. The arrangement was totally different and I've been seeking it for years. I heard Carol Burnett sing the arrangement of the song I'm thinking of, but I don't have any other info about it. Do you know something about the performer/recording? Thanks much.

I'm not sure who else performed it, but there is an Arthur Frackenpohl SATB arrangement that is mostly minor key. I can't find any recordings of that one. Manny above references that arrangement, as one bar of it shows up in Willy Wonka.

this particular performance is not from any album...live perf from a radio show early 80s
'live in new york '82' CD(released 2006, lost orig recently discovered) has this song...from a nostalgia standpoint, it's a great CD, very good perf...unfortunately, has some balance issues/lacking clarity in some areas; recorded at Village Gate club
despite some background radio/tape hiss noise of this vid, you can tell it was well recorded...engineers at Studio M/MPR in St Paul are top-notch
