SKU: S0.381411
Composed by Unknown. Arranged by Donald A. Mills. Early Music. Score. 5 pages. Published by Donald A Mills (S0.381411).This new arrangement by Donald A. Mills is from an old, old number that had its beginnings in the 1600's. It is for TTBB a cappella with a duration of 5'14"...longer than the average song, but long enough to tell the story. It is arranged at an upper-middle level of expertise...your men's chorus and your audiences will love the wonderful harmonies, key changes, chord progressions and of course the lyrics. Sometimes the four parts divide into eight. There are occasional dissonances to enjoy.
The imagery of the lyrics describes the challenges of love: "Love is handsome, love is kind" during the novel honeymoon phase of any relationship. However, as time progresses, "love grows old, and waxes cold." Even true love, the lyrics say, can "fade away like the morning dew."
