Home, sweet home by Thomas Crampton — Lyrics
’Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which sought thro’ the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere:
Home! Home!
Sweet, sweet home!
There’s no place like home,

About Home, sweet home
This well-known sentiment about the unique comfort and peace found in one’s own home is here set for SATB choir. The text, from the opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan, paints a picture of longing for the simple joys of domestic life, even when faced with worldly splendours. The composer’s setting captures the warmth and affection of the words, creating a gentle and heartfelt expression of belonging. This is a charming part-song for mixed choir, exploring the universal theme of finding solace and contentment in the familiar surroundings of home.
