And So It Goes. SATB Unaccompanied

POD-Pawe ukaszewski's Like As The Waves for SSATBB choir unaccompanied. This vocal work is a setting of Shakespeare's Sonnet LX. Like as the waves make towards the pebbledshore So do our minutes hasten to their end;Each changing place with that which goes before In sequent toil all forwards do contend.Nativity once in the main oflight Crawls to maturity wherewith being crown'd Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight And time that gave doth now his gift confound.Time doth transfix the flourishset on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow.And yet to times in hope myverse shall stand Praising thy worth despite his cruel hand. - William Shakespeare A Piano part is included for rehearsal purposes. Duration: 4 minutes.
