Sweet Echo is a lovely choral work by Healey Willan's written for SATB choir, a capella. The text is a Song from ‘Comus,’ a Masque by John Milton:
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that liv’st unseen
Within thy airy shell,
By slow Meander’s margent green,
And in the violet-embroidered vale,
Where the love-lorn nightingale
N
ightly to thee her sad song mourneth well;
Canst thou not tell me of a gentle pair
That likest thy Narcissus are?
O, if thou have Hid them in some flowery cave,
Tell me but where,
Sweet queen of parley, daughter of the sphere!
So mayst thou be translated to the skies,
And give resounding grace to all heaven’s harmonies.
A piano reduction is included in the score for rehearsal use.

Sweet Echo
Chorale SATB slow Meander’s margent green,
And in the violet-embroidered vale,
Where the love-lorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well;
Canst thou not tell me of a gentle pair
That likest thy Narcissus are?
O, if thou have Hid them in some flowery cave,
Tell me but where,
Sweet queen of parley, daughter of the sphere!
So mayst thou be translated to the skies,
And give resounding grace to all heaven’s harmonies
