Last of four song settings of poems by Laurence Hope. Although now rarely performed, the Four Indian Love Lyrics are among Amy Woodforde-Finden's best songs. Of these, 'Pale Hands I Loved' is the best known. Like 'Pale Hands', 'Till I Wake' needs careful handling to avoid reducing it to a maudlin and mannered salon piece. Popular lyrics of this era don't often communicate well to modern audiences. Fortunately Hope's words for 'Till I Wake' are simple and don't contain any jarring anachronisms.
I love the video, the images you used, the way you play and sing this lovely song!
I have also uploaded this song on my channel
but must say I was really moved by your rendering/video. Lorna Kelly
