Beauteous (Vocal) Waltz by William Frederick Taylor — Lyrics
O charming it is, and delightful to dwell,
On thy sweet fascination,
O beauteous waltz,
No words can I find thy great charms to extol,
And my muse for the want of them suddenly halts.

About Beauteous (Vocal) Waltz
William Frederick Taylor's Beauteous Waltz captures the enchanting allure of the dance. The SATB choir voices the singer's delight and fascination, finding words inadequate to extol the charms of the waltz. The text evokes the swirling motion and captivating melodies that transport the senses, painting a picture of a 'circling fairy whirl'. This secular partsong, set in English, celebrates the pure aesthetic pleasure and captivating spirit of the waltz, where music and movement combine to create a truly magical experience.
