Come unto these yellow sands

This delightful setting of a Shakespearean text from The Tempest conjures a magical scene on a remote shore. The solo tenor voice will relish the playful imagery of dancing with spirits and the charmingly imitative calls of dogs and a rooster. John Banister crafts a piece that perfectly captures the whimsical, otherworldly atmosphere of Shakespeare's famous masque. Its relatively straightforward vocal line and engaging text make it an ideal choice for recitals or as a moment of pure, lighthearted expression in a concert programme.
