Rise up my love, my fair one,
and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past
the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come,
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

A beautiful job! The first time I sang this, Willan was in the audience (yes, I"m that old). It was and remains one of my favorite choral works. Many thanks.

A little bit of a drop in pitch, and in a relatively short amount of time. Good dynamics and tuning and musicianship otherwise though!
