I sang the soprano part of this years ago with a chamber group. It near enough felt like transcendence with we got it right. It will stay with me forever.

Just started this with my choir and we adore it.

Simply a dream
I first heard this some years ago at Trinity Hall's music society garden party.
Just as the soprano came in,a blackbird started singing from a tree on the lawn.
It was a special moment I shall never forget.

one of the most beautiful pieces for choir i ever heard. it's so simple, but lyrics, melody, harmony and above all dynamics make it so incredibly touching... what a peaceful song...
