All ye woods by Henry Lahee — Lyrics
All ye woods and trees and bowers,
That inhabit in the lakes,
In the pleasant springs and brakes,
Move your feet to our sound,

About All ye woods
Henry Lahee's All ye woods is a charming secular partsong for SSATB voices. The composer crafts an engaging texture, beginning with the interplay of the voices before the full ensemble bursts forth. The text, a celebration of nature and pastoral life, is brought to life with a joyful and lively spirit. The recurring "Fa la la" refrain adds a lighthearted, almost dance-like quality, characteristic of the genre. This is a delightful setting, ideal for a choir looking for an engaging and uplifting piece that captures the essence of English partsong writing. Its flowing melodic lines and the dynamic interplay between the four voice parts make it a rewarding selection for any concert programme.
