A Resting-Place by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
Does the road wind uphill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.

About A Resting-Place
Jennifer Bastable’s A Resting-Place is a rich SSATB setting of a profound English text. The composer crafts an evocative musical response to the questions about life’s journey and the ultimate destination. The opening phrases immediately draw the listener into a dialogue between the voices, mirroring the conversational nature of the lyrics. The music unfolds with a sensitive ebb and flow, reflecting the philosophical reflections on the road ahead and the search for solace. This partsong offers a contemplative and moving experience, suitable for a choir seeking a piece that combines textual depth with engaging vocal writing.
