Away away away by Samuel Webbe — Lyrics
Away, away;
We've crown'd the day,
The hounds are waiting for their prey.
The huntsman's call
Invites ye all,
Come in boys, while ye may.

About Away away away
Away away away conjures a vivid scene of a boisterous morning hunt, a celebration of outdoor sport and camaraderie. The text speaks of crowning the day, the excitement of hounds waiting for prey, and the huntsman's call. It captures the pure, unbridled joy of sportsmen, with references to the jolly horn and the rosy morn, all set to the 'harmony of deep-mouth'd hounds'. Samuel Webbe's glee for TTB voices perfectly matches this energetic and masculine theme. This piece is a spirited evocation of rural pursuits and the sheer pleasure found in communal outdoor activities, ideal for a male choir seeking a lively and evocative number.
