"Sir Henry Newbolt's poem, set for three closely-tuned voices singing in the Frigian mode. The range of each part is only an octave, so there is considerable scope for transposition to suit the forces available. The uploaded pdfs give: (i) in E - for AAA - range middle C to upper C (ii) in G# - for SSS or TTT - range E to E within the stave (iii) bass clef in E - for three baritones - range C to middle C (iv) bass clef in C - for BBB - range G to G within the stave As the tune is in the top line, the piece could also be sung solo or unison, with two accompanying instruments, provided the close tuning is maintained, ie not instruments that play an octave up or down from written pitch."

By the hearth-stone She sits alone, The long night bearing: With eyes that gleam Into the dream Of the firelight staring. Low and more low The dying glow Burns in the embers; She nothing heeds And nothing needs--- Only remembers.
