Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The flowers appear upon the earth,
The time of the singing of birds is come.

Words from Song of Solomon
SATB, a cappella
Published by Fresh Ayre Music
The text of this piece is part of the breathless Biblical love song called The Song of Solomon, written as a four-part alternative to Healy Willan’s beautiful six-part setting of the same text. By lucky chance, its completion fell near my friends Mark and Jennifer Dietrich’s first anniversary, so it became a gift for them.
It programs well in any concert about love, youth, or spring.

Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The flowers appear upon the earth,
The time of the singing of birds is come.
