about

Like many folk songs, this delves into pastoral and seasonal themes. Jon’s song, orchestrated by Jacqui, is from a show commissioned by the Vaughan Williams Festival in 2022 that included Moonrakers and the OXUS string quartet.

lyrics

From green to gold and then to fall
The Autumn stories now recall
That all that changes is the same
We turn the seasons round again
And we’re a little older now

We dream the land beneath the plough
The summer yield is harvest bound
Broken shards beneath our feet
Below the earth are buried deep
And we’re a little older now

The yaffle drumming rarely heard
With passing rain, the woodland stirred
To watch the heron stand alone
Upon a single mottled stone
And we’re a little older now

When frost and ice return to water
Spring is winter’s fairest daughter
Take this joy of life in hand
Take this joy of life
