Evening chimes by Charles Lauren Moore — Lyrics
Hark! I hear the sweet bells ringing,
Ringing on the evening air;
Sweetest thoughts of memory bringing,
Ever joyous, fresh and fair.
Ding, dong, ding, dong,
Sing the old refrain;

About Evening chimes
Charles Lauren Moore's Evening Chimes is a charming SATB setting of an English text that evokes the peaceful atmosphere of twilight. As the titular bells ring out, the music brings to mind fond memories and a sense of gentle pleasure. This secular partsong is ideal for a choir looking for a piece that is both evocative and accessible, capturing the simple beauty of an evening serenade. The gentle "ding, dong" refrain adds a playful yet nostalgic quality, making it a delightful addition to any concert programme looking for a moment of quiet reflection and beauty.
