Arthur Sullivan - "The Long Day Closes" - Original MIDI Performance

This is an original MIDI performance of another choral work, this time from the mid-19th Century, written by Arthur Sullivan of "Gilbert & Sullivan" fame. It's a "part song" -- a format which became very popular in Victorian England -- sung in homage to a loved one who has passed on. It was originally written for a TTBB men's chorus, but I used to sing it in college in an SATB arrangement. I think it's one of the most reverent and lovely songs one could have sung in memoriam, and I've already told everyone I know that I want it sung for me when it's my time. Here is the text of the poem: No star is o'er the lake, Its pale watch keeping, The moon is half awake, Through grey mist creeping, The last red leaves fall round The porch of roses, The clock hath ceased to sound, The long day closes. Sit by the silent hearth in calm endeavour, To count the sounds of mirth, Now dumb forever. Heed not how hope believes And fate disposes: Shadow is round the eaves, The long day closes. The lighted windows dim Are fading slowly. The fire that was so trim Now quivers lowly. Go to the dreamless bed Where grief reposes; Thy book of toil is read, The long day closes. I'm dedicating this performance to one of my son's very dear friends who suddenly, tragically passed away recently. W.B., you are missed. All parts are recorded by myself within Cubase 12 Pro, using East West's Symphonic Choirs virtual instrument, still one of the very best after all these years.
