The Last Rose of Summer

湯瑪斯-摩爾（Thomas Moore）在《夏日最後的玫瑰》（The Last Rose Of Summer）中的淒美歌詞與這首愛爾蘭歌曲哀傷低沉的旋律相得益彰。在第三節中，唱詩班的男聲在兩小節後呼應旋律，在暫時振奮人心的調式後，編曲結束了--在孤獨的情緒中，在空曠、光禿禿的第五節中結束了

原文簡介:
The poignant words of The Last Rose Of Summer, by Thomas Moore, match this Irish song’s mournful, drooping melody. After a temporarily uplifting modulation for the third verse, where the men of the choir echo the melody two measures behind, the arrangement ends as it began – in a solitary mood, with an empty, bare fifth. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing!
