In a glorious garden green by William Vincent Wallace — Lyrics
In a glorious garden green,
Saw I sitting a comely Queen
Among the flow’rs that freshé been,
She pluck’d a rose of royal mien.
And ever she sang, as she sat among
The lily white flow’rs that deck’d the lawn;

About In a glorious garden green
William Wallace's In a glorious garden green is a charming SATB setting of an English text. This secular partsong evokes a pastoral scene, depicting a queen in a vibrant garden surrounded by blooming flowers. The lyrics capture a moment of gentle reflection as she plucks a rose and sings of the dawning day and her departure. The imagery of the fleur-de-lis, gilly flower, and violet rue adds a touch of traditional symbolism to this evocative picture. This piece would be suitable for a choir looking for a piece with a fresh, natural atmosphere and a clear, melodic line.
