Product Description
Arrangement for male voice choir of the madrigal from the operetta
Yeomen of the Guard by Gilbert and Sulllivan,
performed here by the dwsChorale.
Strange adventure! Maiden wedded
To a groom she's never seen -
Dame Carruthers and Fairfax.
Never, never, never seen!
Groom about to be beheaded,
In an hour on Tower Green!
Dame Carruthers and Fairfax.
Tower, Tower, Tower Green!
Groom in dreary dungeon lying,
Groom as good as dead, or dying,
For a pretty maiden sighing -
Pretty maid of seventeen!
Seven - seven - seventeen!
Strange adventure that we're trolling:
Modest maid and gallant groom -
Gallant, gallant, gallant groom! -
While the funeral bell is tolling,
Tolling, tolling, Bim-a-boom!
Bim-a, Bim-a, Bim-a-boom!
Modest maiden will not tarry;
Though but sixteen year she carry,
She must marry, she must marry,
Though the altar be a tomb -
Tower - Tower - Tower tomb!
Tower tomb! Tower tomb!
Though the altar be a tomb!
Tower, Tower, Tower tomb!
