Autumn is come again by Frederick Corder — Lyrics
Autumn is come again,
Summer tints he chases;
Brown is the bursting grain,
Brown our sunburnt faces,
Every leaf on hill or plain
Wears his russet graces.
Pluck the vine, tread the wine
By the banks of sunny Rhine!
Who could ask better task,
While the Autumn sun doth shine.
Winter has jewels rare,

About Autumn is come again
A rich celebration of the autumnal season, this partsong for SSATB voices captures the beauty and bounty of autumn. The text poetically describes the changing colours, the harvest of grain, and the joy of winemaking, contrasting autumn's golden abundance with the fleeting beauty of winter and spring. Corder's setting, in English, evokes a sense of pastoral pleasure and contentment. It is perfectly suited for a choir looking to perform a vibrant secular piece that brings to life the sensory delights of autumn, perhaps as part of a seasonal concert or a programme focusing on nature.
