Evening, and all the birds
In a chorus of shimmering sound
Are easing their hearts of joy
For miles around.

About Dusk in June
Jennifer Bastable's Dusk in June is a beautiful secular partsong for SSATB choir, optionally with a soloist. The text paints a vivid picture of a tranquil summer evening, filled with the joyous sounds of birdsong as night approaches. The composer captures this atmosphere through lyrical vocal lines, reflecting the gentle beauty of nature and the heartfelt desire to 'sing before night'. It is a wonderful piece for choirs looking to explore evocative, nature-inspired repertoire, offering a moment of peaceful reflection for both performers and audience. The rich SSATB texture provides ample opportunity for expressive choral singing.
