In the moonlight by Kate M. Preston — Lyrics
In the moonlight, in the moonlight,
Fairy forms are dancing free,
Forms that never in the daylight,
Human eyes may chance to see;
Listen to the fairy music,
How the blue bells softly chime,
And how sweet the fairy voices,
To the soft winds keeping time.

About In the moonlight
Kate M. Preston's In the moonlight conjures an ethereal scene, a nocturnal ballet of fairy forms glimpsed only when daylight fades. The SATB choir paints this otherworldly landscape with delicate vocal lines, mirroring the soft chiming of bluebells and the gentle rhythm of the wind. As the text suggests, the moonlight also invites wondrous thoughts and a purer beauty that eludes our waking hours. This secular partsong invites singers to explore a realm of imagination and subtle enchantment, with its harmonies capturing the fleeting sweetness and ephemeral light of the moonlit night.
