SOFT MUSIC
for mixed voice choir and piano
Goodmusic GM264
Composed for the Guildhall Alumni Choir in dedication to Diana Bickley with words and music by Paul Carr. A beautiful setting for SATB and piano.
Soft music floats on waves of love, as flowers burn in praise of you.
Holding the sun's soft embrace I leap into the warm air, eyes closed,
heart still, alive with memories and chorales.
My senses are caressed by light, perfumed by music, yet in the cold
silver of the moon I cry out in the darkness to you; love is laid bare
through my pain, its song a sea of tears.
My soul shall complete its course unseen, but true; and I will rise
from a thousand sighs to bathe in the love of you.
Duration 4½ minutes
