I like this version better than Voces8's, in part because of the wonderful play with rubato. Voces8, as good as they are, play it pretty straight tempo wise, thanks, gang- Lovely!!
Speechless at how excellent this is. As per another commenter but for the mention of "High School" one would have assumed this was a professional choir. Brilliantly done everyone involved. Thank you.
Matt, I am like a number of other folks who listen to good choral stuff on RU-vid. I had a background in choral music in high school and college (Stranahan High School "Singers" under Peggy Barber 65-66 and The University Singers at the University of Florida 68-70). Once you come to love this kind of music, that love never stops. I'm 74 now. Anyhow, I just wanted to tell you that you are producing the best sound from a group of high school singers that I've ever heard. Tell these kids please that they're knocking it out of the park.
This is copied from the original this is people just miming, you would think with all the effort they have put into this video that they would have had a go themselves rather than just miming, just listen to the original and then listen to this I'm just saying it's disappointing, I'm sure they could have done it without mining
This is the first time I've heard this song and I am BAWLING. It's so beautiful and SO SAD!! Wonderfully sung guys!! Well done! Posting lyrics below for my own use.
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay Oh, sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day? This pore yongling for whom we do sing "Bye, bye, lully, lullay"? Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay Herod, the king in his raging Charged he hath this day His men of might, in his own sight All young children to slay Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay That one is me, poor child for thee And ever morn and may For thy parting, nether say nor sing Bye, bye, lully, lullay Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child Bye, bye, lully, lullay
Oh my goodness! This is utterly superb. I have sung it in company with really good singers, but we never managed to get it to your standard. Your performance is very close to that of Voces8; that's really saying something.
