All Through the Night (MuseScore 4 Version)
0An updated MS4 version of my take of the song "All Through the Night;" although written for alto saxophone and piano, I left concert pitch turned on because the lyrics are there. The update also came about because the original video I did of this was from MuseScore 2, and the lyrics seemed unnecessarily crushed and smooshed on top of each other. That problem is now fixed.
It might be saddening but worth knowing to you folks that in the case of the real me, as much as I love marching bands, I didn't ever perform in one in high school or college; this is because I discovered singing in choirs and as a soloist actually suited my autistic personality way better. (I sing bass-baritone.) Thus, the real me has a communications degree, Bachelor of Sciences, but with a music minor in vocal performance. One such solo I sang was this traditional air from Wales, entitled All Through the Night.

Lyrics: Sleep, my love, and peace attend thee
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will lend thee
All through the night,
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale and slumber sleeping,
Love alone his watch is keeping
All through the night.
Though I roam a minstrel lonely,
All through the night.
My true harp shall praise thee only,
All through the night.
Love's young dream, alas! is over
Yet my strains of love shall hover
Near the presence of my lover
All through the night.
