Harris, Lillie: We are Married
From: £3.25
SATB unaccompanied (with divisions)
Originally commissioned by Siân and Tony Hughes to be performed during Rhiannon and Robin’s wedding, and first sung by friends and members of Coro Chamber Choir, We are Married is an intimate vignette of true love. The composer sourced the text from letters between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett; the words were therefore not only exchanged by a real couple truly in love, but also written by renowned poets expressing their strong feelings with beautiful eloquence. Their shared respect and a sense of their relationship being a ‘partnership of equals’ shines through these lines, making them relevant not only for the piece’s dedicatees, but also for any modern couple seeking a secular anthem to accompany a religious or civil marriage ceremony, or other occasion of mutual commitment.

LYRICS
Oo oo oo
A few words what will those be?
I have no words:
Words can never tell you
how dear you are to me.
Oo oo oo oo
I am all pride that my life has been so crowned by you.
I would not change one word, one look
I shall grow old with you,
and as far as I can look into the night
I see the light with me.
Oo oo oo oo
And now, love, dear heart of my heart,
Your are mine. I am yours,
And we are married,
we are married,
we are married,
we are married.
