Evening Shade by Stephen Jenks — Lyrics
1. The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
O may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.

About Evening Shade
Stephen Jenks's Evening Shade is a sacred work for STB voices. The text reflects on the passing of the day and the approach of evening, drawing a parallel to the inevitability of death. It urges remembrance of this ultimate transition, likening the act of laying down garments for rest to the way death will strip away earthly possessions. The piece offers a moment of solemn contemplation on mortality, set in English for a choir seeking music that encourages profound reflection on life's impermanence.
