All the way home

Solo low voice & piano

Now available for solo low voice, this work was inspired by the Radcliffe Ladies’ Choir and their motto ‘friendship through singing’. The lilting vocal lines are underpinned by a delicate piano part, and the opening performance direction, ‘contentedly rocking’, describes the overall nature of the piece: peaceful, content, and easy-going. Also available for SSA, SATB, unison voices, and for SATB in German.

  • Lyrics

    Sing to me comfort, sing to me home,
    Sing to me friendships I have known.
    Sing me a place where I belong,
    Joyful, with harmonies sing me

    All the way home with a song in my heart.
    All the way home brighten my path and
    Carry me on, all the way home.

    There’s a beautiful power in what we bring,
    There’s strength in the glorious song we sing.
    Easing all troubles, calming all fears,
    Joyful with harmonies sing me…

    Evening brings a shining star,
    Her ancient anthems from afar.
    Silence below, her song in the sky.
    Joyful with harmonies sing me…

    Sarah Quartel
