Between by Thomas Adams — Lyrics
Between the sunrise and the sunset
The road winds o’er the hill,
It is not long, nor very steep for climbing
When the wind is still.
Between the sowing and the reaping

About Between
Thomas Adams sets a reflective English text in this SATB setting. The words draw parallels between the stages of a day and the seasons of life, suggesting that hardship and darkness can be endured with inner strength. The composer's approach to the text uses simple, direct language to convey a message of hope and resilience. This secular partsong is well-suited for a choir looking for music that explores universal themes through a pleasing vocal texture.
