Dark Clouds Bring Waters
or Mixed Chorus (S.A.T.B) a cappella - Length: ca. 3'00"
(opening)
Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.
Yea, dark or bright, if they their silver drops
Cause to descend, the earth, by yielding crops,
Gives praise to both, and carpeth not at either,
But treasures up the fruit they yield together;
Yea, so commixes both, that in her fruit
None can distinguish this from that . . .
Text by John Bunyan
from the Apology to "The Pilgrim's Progress"
