For Tenor solo and SATB (double choir optional) unaccompanied.

This is a vivid musical depiction of the colourful dreamscape created in Charles Bennett's text. The solo tenor floats over the soft, jazzy harmonies of the other voices as he narrates the journey through London's sky, noting the 'blackbirds in the sleeping streets' and a taxicab slumbering below. Swimming over London is recorded by The King's Singers on their CD of the same name.
