Greeting Glee by Nathan L. Glover — Lyrics
We come again with songs to greet you,
To feel the warmth of every heart,
In happiness we smile to meet you,
Yet sigh to think so soon we part.
On every spot the sunbeams brightens
These constant hearted friends we find.

About Greeting Glee
Greeting Glee is a bright and engaging SATB setting of an English text that explores the mingled emotions of gathering and parting. The music opens with a sense of joyful welcome, as the voices unite to express happiness at meeting friends and sharing warmth. The text then shifts to a gentle reflection on the enduring nature of friendship, even across distance. The composer effectively captures the sentiment of togetherness and camaraderie, with moments of both exhilaration and tender sentiment. This partsong, fitting for the glee tradition, offers a satisfying blend of expressive text-painting and satisfying vocal writing for a mixed choir seeking a piece that celebrates human connection.
