Arthur Seymour Sullivan

The Long Day Closes

The Long Day Closes is one of the most poignant and beloved choral gems of the Victorian era. Composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan to an evocative poem by Henry F. Chorley, this four-part song for mixed choir (SATB) captures the peaceful transition from dusk into night with exquisite tenderness. Its warm, rich harmonies and delicate vocal lines create an intimate, deeply moving atmosphere that captivates both the choir and the audience.

This high-quality edition from Novello Publishing features the complete four-part SATB choral score along with a rehearsal piano reduction. A timeless masterpiece of British choral literature and a wonderful addition to any concert programme, special event, or reflective choral performance.
