In Fountain Court by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
The fountain murmuring of sleep,
A drowsy tune;
The flickering green of leaves that keep
The light of June;
Peace, through a slumbering afternoon,
The peace of June.

About In Fountain Court
Jennifer Bastable’s In Fountain Court is a setting for SAATB of a poem capturing the languid atmosphere of a June afternoon. The text evokes images of a murmuring fountain, flickering leaves, and a drowsy peace, before shifting to a more personal yearning for a lover’s arrival, mirroring the stillness of the scene. The composer’s music, through its rich voicing and melodic lines, should aim to reflect this blend of peaceful natural observation and quiet anticipation, creating a reflective and atmospheric choral experience for the singers and listeners alike.
