Michael Kennedy refers to the de la Mare setting as being ?in the raptmanner?Elgar?reserved for special moments of vision? a view with which it is difficult to disagree.The part-song for SATB unaccompanied Voices is now available as part of the Elkin Choral Series.?Performance time approximately 5 minutes.?Piano accompaniment for practice only.
