Evening by Arthur Sullivan — Lyrics
Peace breathes along the shades
Of ev'ry hill,
The tree tops of the glades
Are hush'd and still;
All woodland murmurs cease;

About Evening
Peace settles over the landscape as evening descends. The text paints a picture of hushed stillness in the woods, with murmurs ceasing and birds settling for the night. This tranquil scene offers a moment of reflection for the listener, directly addressing a weary heart with the promise of eventual peace. Arthur Sullivan’s SATB setting captures this gentle atmosphere with its flowing melodic lines and rich harmonies. Composed as a secular English partsong, it offers a beautiful moment of calm and reassurance, ideal for bringing a concert programme to a peaceful close.
