Text "Ariel's Song" from "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare. Recorded live on Friday, May 17, 2013, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Concert CHOIR ensemble of the Girl CHOIR of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese.

Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.  less
