'Love will find out the way' is a vocal work composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. The piece was composed in 1781 and premiered in the same year. It is also known as 'Cupid's Kindness' and is cataloged as H. 31a/53. The work is a part song for four voices, with a text by the English poet and playwright Thomas D'Urfey. The piece is in three movements, with the first and third movements being in a lively and cheerful tempo, while the second movement is slower and more expressive. The first movement begins with a lively and rhythmic introduction, followed by the entrance of the voices. The melody is simple and catchy, with each voice taking turns to sing the main theme. The harmonies are light and playful, reflecting the joyful and optimistic nature of the text. The second movement is more expressive and introspective, with a slower tempo and more complex harmonies. The melody is more lyrical and expressive, with the voices weaving in and out of each other in a beautiful and intricate way. The text speaks of the power of love to overcome all obstacles, and the music reflects this sentiment with its emotional depth and complexity. The third movement returns to the lively and cheerful mood of the first movement, with a catchy melody and playful harmonies. The voices sing in unison for much of the movement, creating a sense of unity and joy. The text speaks of the power of love to conquer all, and the music reflects this sentiment with its joyful and optimistic character. Overall, 'Love will find out the way' is a charming and delightful vocal work by Haydn. Its catchy melodies, playful harmonies, and optimistic character make it a joy to listen to, while its emotional depth and complexity give it a lasting appeal.
