I love my Jean by George J. Bennett — Lyrics
Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw,
I dearly like the west,
For there the bonnie lassie lives,
The lassie I lo’e best:
There wildwoods grow, and rivers row,
And mony a hill between;
Bait day and night my fancy’s flight
Is ever wi’ my Jean.

About I love my Jean
George J. Bennett’s I love my Jean is a secular SATB partsong in English. It is a tender setting of words describing an all-consuming love. The text paints a picture of the beloved, Jean, found in nature – in flowers, birdsong, and the landscape itself. The composer captures this pervasive affection, where every element of the natural world reminds the singer of Jean. This is a delightful piece for a choir looking for expressive and engaging repertoire, showcasing the romantic sentiment of its words through rich choral harmonies.
