Come unto these yellow sands by Amy Beach — Lyrics
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Curtsied when you have, and kiss'd
The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!

About Come unto these yellow sands
Amy Beach sets a text from Shakespeare's The Tempest, painting a picture of playful sprites and magical revelry on a shore. The music conjures the scene with a sense of freedom and enchantment, from the gentle waves to the distant cock's crow. This setting for SSAA voices captures the whimsical and spirited nature of the words, inviting singers and listeners alike into a world of fantasy and lighthearted charm. Beach's arrangement skillfully balances moments of delicate grace with passages of exhilarating energy, making it a delightful choice for a treble-voiced choir.
