" When a choir gathers to sing/which happens often in this country/ you will hear as many diferent parts and voices as there are performers/ All joining together in the end/ To produce a single organic harmony and melody/ in the softness of B flat"
The musical notes are that of Calon Lan, a traditional Welsh song, sung in B flat major.
