Sweet Chance That Led My Steps Abroad.

Seq- Dr.J.Pitt-Payne. Kar- Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Sweet Chance, that led my steps abroad,
Beyond the town, where wild flow'rs grow.

A rainbow and a cuckoo, Lord,
how rich and great the times are now!
How rich and great the times are now!

Know, all ye sheep and cows,
that keep on staring that I stand
so long in grass that's wet from heavy rain.

A rainbow and a cuckoo's song
May never come together again,
May never come this side of the tomb.

A rainbow, and a cuckoo's song
May never come together again.

Sweet Chance, That Led My Steps Abroad
1929
Michael Head and W H Davies
Dedicated to Leslie A. Boosey
this truly lovely piece of music
gained me first place in the Bromley Music Festival
of 1969 - in the Tenor Class
Olive Groves, a distinguished old party
in her nineties adjudicated
and having ticked me off for my interpretation of
"La Donna E Mobile" relented and awarded
me first place for this with
the advice that I needed to give
it more legato.
I trust that I have managed to do this here and
redress the balance after 31 years.
my teacher was Gwen Massey, herself 84 then and in her early
professional life had been
accompanist to Heddle Nash
the renowned British Tenor and
and regarded as the "Golden Voice
of British Song"
