Annie Lennox - Dido’s Lament - London City Voices 

Same,,

Purcell was a master of his time.

😅Another really sad song is Prince’s Sometimes It Snows in April

Not to be unkind, but the sound was atrociously produced. The engineering was unforgivably poor.

I find your words most touching 🕊♥️

@@randomspurious1066 It was unkind.

@@randomspurious1066 I understand your comment. I feel this is missing the point, wildly. We won't be criticising the last birds for their screaming vocals.

A lot of courage ! One day, hopefully soon, you can can be stage technician again ! 👍🏽

Condolences to you.

Wonderful words: the lonesomeness of Annie's voice. Beautifully expressed!

Magnificently amazes 💃💗💗👂👀🤷🏼‍♀️😥

Her voice and her splendid dictionary. She pays lapidary attention to every vowel and consonant, placing them like a jeweler.

Deborah, not only are we proud of you and all the voices but what adds to it are the visuals - OMG! The entire thing is a masterpiece. Absolutely stunning, captivating, gut wrenching and soul piercing. These emotions are now embedded in my heart and mind - as I am sure for many. Thank you.

Absolutely breathtaking performance - I love the original but WOW, this was incredible!

@@OnTheFlyDIY Is it not amazing! Can't stop listening to this. I think this should be the world's emotional anthem in our current situation. Be well Vicki.

Thank you. Stunning.

Be so proud, it is precise, grand, beautiful, powerful..... yes it important and wonderful that Greenpeace are still trying to move the sludge that is the worlds greedy populous, amazing that Annie is still moved to sing amazing things. but this piece is absolutely down to all of you who sang to together, with individual passion and collective power I thank you all..... Be very proud..... x

Yes, I totally agree!!!

Let us hope that when COVID is over the national cultural institutions like the Royal Opera House and the National Theatre continue to use this sort of technology to become more inclusive and expand their audience base?

@@davidprowse4071 Yes, again I totally agree with you. I discovered the Royal Opera House on the web at the beginning of this pandemic, especially the postings of past ballet 🎭 performances. I now wish, when the pandemic is lessening & we have received vaccinations & can travel again, to make my first post-pandemic international trip to London, to see the Royal Opera House in person! And then visit Scotland! From Brooklyn, NYC, USA!

@@amyvictoriamcewen3615 Welcome to Europe, Amy. You'll love it! Stay safe and healthy!

This is LAME

That's a very good point- it shows how we can adapt and overcome. Let's hope that it includes treating the world in a better way.

@@kmitchpg . The planet and everyone on it!

It is that very creativity that will lead to live music soaring like a Phoenix when COVID is contained. Have faith people with such talent can never be crushed!

@@davidprowse4071 . The arts are where our fundamental humanity resides, transcending space and time. They will always be there to satisfy our craving for human connection. Be well and stay safe from Canada.

@@davidbrown1566 Thank you stay safe

This version makes me cry every time.

Every time I cry when I listen to it .wonderful rendition

Yes! Quite literally! I got them all over my arms and back😮

CONGRATULATIONS, what an amazing experience!!

Fantastic performance. I'm curious about the technical aspects of setting this all up. Were you all in one location?

@@markhaas Nope, we all recorded at home separately then our amazing Choir master and Annie's team bought it all together.

What an experience! I love seeing creative options come out of this situation. And this was a lovely one.

A monumental contribution all around. Congratulations! 🥂

Wonderful words you have written for a heart stopping, fantastic performance by the wonderful Annie Lennox and the chorus. I loved when the video focused on the faces of the Chorus. And Annie's voice is so haunting, along with the lyrics of Dido. Marvelous!

Awwwwe lucky you!!! Absolutely love this - brilliant work! Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations! What a beautiful memento of a really challenging time.

So jealous! How do you get involved in an online choir like this? I'd love to do more with my time.

Lucky one 😉 great experience I suppose. The kind you wo’nt forget. Once had to be creative all year and reinvent proximity, intimacy, partnership, solidarity, and you all succeed to give us so much😃Love all 🧡🙏

it's the choir in this video that really adds the power to the message. I'm still kind of stunned.

For me the backing really made it complete and gave it such strength. Amazing and great thanks to everyone.

yep. Annie's playback to the 10-years-old-track. it is a shame, as it she is not obviously not performing live with the choir.

Yes, voice of an angel.

@@QueerTunes what exactly are you talking about? This track was not on ‘A Christmas Cornucopia’ 10 years ago, was it? Also, what do you mean by “not performing live”? Obviously, this is a COVID-19 distance performance. Which can not be fully live in the sense of “everybody is performing at the same time, without any prerecorded guidance track” as far as I understand current video streaming technology - which will, over the internet, always induce an amount of latency to long to really play/sing live in sync. Yet still, it looks very much like every person is recorded while singing; so the video images are those of people (including Annie) singing live.

@@TheGuacamoleXplosion There's A Recently Released, Tenth Anniversary Issue Of "Christmas Cornucopia" That Contains Dido's Lament.

@@lynnehrgott3091 thanks, and: yep, I know. However, Dido’s Lament was not on the original release 10 years ago. So I wondered what @qpop means by writing “Annie's playback to the 10-years-old-track” in his above comment.

Completely agree ;))

This is so true! Only one Annie Lennox with her amazing voice and stunning interpretive soul.

Such an amazing voice with fortitude..a gift to all..blessings upon you Annie.⭐

A voice for the ages.

Hello 👋 👋

momma, live a looooooooong and happy life!

It is a work of art - I agree.

My daughter’s high school choir did this for Christmastide. We all missed seeing them perform, but it was such a nice surprise to hear it.

Amazing achievement!! @JustSomeLady said 'Monumental Contribution'. Sums it up for me. Stay safe!

🙏

It’s a lament for our dying planet.

How did you have the strength to do that?

An old version that my wife liked.

@@eftjem I had to plan my husband's memorial service earlier this year. It actually helps, to feel like you are performing an act of love for that person you lost.

I am so sorry for your loss! It is a gorgeous piece.

❤️

Oh,, dear Joy, you were so appropriately named! Bless you always.

Wow you performed it with Annie Lennox! What's it like working with her?

@@davebb1212 It was during COVID, so all done virtually, but Annie is lovely and a consummate professional

@@garethowens3476 I wish I had that kind of opportunity. I’ve been a massive fan of Eurythmics for a while even though I listen to rap music. What kind of music do you listen to?

Thank you
