VOCES8: Aftonen by Hugo Alfvén

VOCES8 sings probably the most popular choral work by Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén, 'Aftonen'.

TEXT:
Skogen står tyst, himlen är klar.
Hör huru tjusande vallhornet lullar.
Kvällssolns bloss sig stilla sänker
ner uti den lugna, klara våg.
Ibland dälder, gröna kullar
eko kring nejden far...

Translation:
Tranquil the woods, skies crystal clear,
Faint the alluring shepherd horns beckon.
Sunset aglow, blushingly fading, settling
slowly, oh so gently, onto a peaceful rippling wave.
Through the valleys, verdant hillsides,
lingering echoes sound...
