As Torrents in Summer

Nieuw nummer in te studeren: 'As Torrents in Summer' van Sir Edward Elgar, uit de cantate Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf, Op. 30 (1896). Als je naar het filmpje kijkt: ze beginnen te zingen op 55 seconden.

As torrents in summer,

Half dried in their channels,

Suddenly rise, tho' the Sky is still cloudless,

For rain has been falling,

Far off at their fountains;

So hearts that are fainting

Grow full to o'erflowing,

And they that behold it

Marvel, and know not,

That God at their fountains

Far off has been raining!
