In the Fields by Paul Greenewich — Lyrics
Lord, when I look at lovely things which pass,
Under old trees the shadows of young leaves
Dancing to please the wind along the grass,
Or the gold stillness of the August sun on the August sheaves;
Can I believe there is a heavenlier world than this?
And if there is

About In the Fields
Paul Greenewich's In the Fields is a secular SATB setting of evocative English poetry. The text explores moments of natural beauty and the poignant questions they raise about the existence of a more heavenly world. Greenewich's music captures the gentle, contemplative mood of the lyrics, offering a rich harmonic palette for the choir. This partsong is ideal for choirs looking to explore thoughtful, lyrical repertoire that balances musical sophistication with accessible beauty. The composer uses the four voices to create a warm, blended sound, mirroring the pastoral imagery presented in the verse.
