Evening clouds by Robert Henry Waithman — Lyrics
Clouds I see at evening’s hour
Tinged with sunset’s loveliest glow,
Clouds as bright as gleaming snow
That but now were dark and grim;

About Evening clouds
As twilight falls, this SATB setting of an English text captures the fleeting beauty of evening clouds. The words speak of a transformation, from darkness to light, mirroring the gradual fading of the sun and the emergence of a hopeful glow. The composer, Robert Henry Waithman, crafts a secular artsong that reflects on this natural phenomenon, where shadows give way to a brilliant, yet transient, beauty. It is a reflective piece, perfectly suited for an evening concert or a moment of quiet contemplation, allowing the choir to explore the evocative imagery of the text through lush harmonies.
