I know a bank by Charles Edward Horn — Lyrics

I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, There sleeps the fairy Queen.

About I know a bank

Charles Edward Horn's I know a bank is a delightful SS,SATB setting of a well-known Shakespearean text. The music captures the pastoral beauty and gentle magic of the lyrics, evoking a scene of natural enchantment. The interplay between the various voice parts creates a rich texture, painting a vivid soundscape of the fairy queen's slumber amidst the blooming flowers and the sweet scent of wild thyme. This secular part-song is perfect for a choir looking to explore evocative English repertoire that balances lyrical melody with engaging choral writing. Its charm lies in its ability to transport the listener to a serene, idyllic setting, brought to life through the composer's sensitive musical interpretation of the text.
