Fairy song by Agnes Zimmermann — Lyrics
Come, follow, follow me,
You, fairy elves that be,
Which circle on the green,
Come, follow Mab, your queen!
Hand in hand let’s dance around,
For this place is fairy ground.
When mortals are at rest,
And snoring in their nest,
Unheard and unespied,

About Fairy song
Agnes Zimmermann's Fairy Song is a delightful SATB setting of an English text that evokes the mischievous and ethereal world of fairies. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their nocturnal revels, dancing on the green, gliding through keyholes when mortals sleep, and treading so lightly on dewy grass that no trace is left behind. Zimmermann captures the playful, light-footed spirit of the text, creating a charming and evocative choral piece that is perfect for adding a touch of magic to any secular concert programme. The music would suit a choir looking for an engaging and melodious challenge.
