  • We hope you'll enjoy listening to some of our tenors and basses rehearsing this charming piece by Arthur Sullivan. Best known for the many operas he wrote with William Gilbert, Sullivan published this introspective choral work in 1868. It's a firm favourite of ours, and features on our 'Songs of Farewell' album: www.tenebrae-choir.com/record...
    This video was filmed at the beautiful church of St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood in south London.

    No star is o'er the lake,
    Its pale watch keeping,
    The moon is half awake,
    Through grey mist creeping,
    The last red leaves fall round
    The porch of roses,
    The clock hath ceased to sound,
    The long day closes.
    Sit by the silent hearth
    In calm endeavour,
    To count the sounds of mirth,
    Now dumb for ever.
    Heed not how hope believes
    And fate disposes:
    Shadow is round the eaves,
    The long day closes.
    The lighted windows dim
    Are fading slowly.
    The fire that was so trim
    Now quivers lowly.
    Go to the dreamless bed
    Where grief reposes;
    Thy book of toil is read,
    The long day closes

    Really beautifully sung. No unnecessary dramatics, other groups could learn from this.
