Name: The Blossom (William Blake)
Duration: P00H02M37S
Description: Three William Blake Songs for Soprano and Piano, Opus 2, were my first attempt at composing “classical” songs for voice and piano. Having grown up listening to far more pop music than classical, these songs tend to have a Pop, Folk and even Broadway influence – wrapped in the cloak of Classical Music. These simple songs are to be sung with minimal vibrato and ask for a pure, clean tone.

lyrics

Merry, merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Seek your cradle narrow,
Near my bosom.
Pretty, pretty robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, pretty robin,
Near my bosom.
