A depiction of winter by the Lake on the Felbrigg NT estate.. This unaccompanied 3-part version captures the haunting silence of the frozen landscape and is for ladies choir. Synthesized version.
Winter waits and watches
Watches, watches
Still and silent o’er solid earth
Silent, silent,
Hush, Hush,
Hush o’er frozen lake.
Hoar frost covers branches
Suspended in the mist.
Silent, silent, silent.
Distant a curlew calls
Beckoning me to follow
While winter waits and watches
Watches, watches, watches.
Synthesized version with two violins and a flute.
