There Will Come Soft Rains (Lucy Walker) | The Mancunium Consort

The Mancunium Consort perform Lucy Walker's 'There Will Come Soft Rains', a setting of words by Sara Teasdale. This is the second single release from our upcoming album, 'Still Waters', coming in September 2026 under the VOCES8 Records label. Text: There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, Not one will care at last when it is done. Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone. 🔊 Alexander Van Ingen - Six Music Productions 🎥 Barnaby Smith - VOCES8 Studios Filmed and Recorded at the VOCES8 centre, London Website - https://www.themancuniumconsort.com Instagram - / themancuniumconsort Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
