Evening by Henry David Leslie — Lyrics
It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard;
It is the hour when lovers' vows

About Evening
A beautiful evensong sentiment is captured in Henry David Leslie's partsong, Evening. Ideal for a choir seeking to evoke the tranquil close of day, the text paints a picture of twilight's gentle embrace, where nature's sounds and romantic whispers blend. Leslie crafts this setting for mixed voices, with options for either SATB or a fuller SATB chorus singing ATT. The English lyrics speak of the peaceful atmosphere as night descends, making it a perfect choice for concerts or occasions that call for reflection and serene musical expression. This piece offers a moment of quiet contemplation through its evocative melody and harmonies.
