Benjamin Britten: Peter Grimes - Final Scene

Royal Opera Covent Garden, Sir Colin Davis, cond.

(Chorus)
To those who pass the Borough sounds betray
The cold beginning of another day.
And houses sleeping by the waterside
Wake to the measured ripple of the tide.
[Mr. Swallow comes out and speaks to the fishermen.]
(Swallow)
Theres a boat sinking out at sea,
Coastguard reports.
Fisherman
Within reach?
Swallow
No.
Fisherman
Lets have a look through the glasses.
[Fishermen go with Swallow to the beach and look out. One of them has a glass.]
(Chorus)
Or measured cadence of the lads who tow
Some entered hoy to fix her in their row,
Or hollow sound that from the passing bell
To some departed spirit bids farewell.
Auntie
What is it?
Boles
Nothing I can see.
Auntie
One of these rumours.
[Nieces emerge and begin to polish the brasses outside The Boar.]
(All)
In ceaseless motion comes and goes the tide
Flowing it fills the channel broad and wide
Then back to sea with strong majestic sweep
It rolls in ebb yet terrible and deep.
