How do you keep the music playing? (Legrand) | The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge 

“The more I love the more that I’m afraid that in your eyes I may not see ‘forever’ forever…”

A very good choir singing a Michel Legrand song in a church with very good acoustics , it's magical 🌷

When I was a young boy I heard this song performed by James Ingram and Patti Austin and immediately loved it. Now I hear it sang by an angel and a choir of angels. I cried when I heard this arrangement just because it was so beautiful performed! Thanks for sharing your talent ❤️

She brings a lot of energy,love and happiness into this song. What a beautiful talent.

This young woman is simply magic. If this does not touch your very heart, you may no longer be breathing.

Love anything Michele Legrand wrote ...this is beautiful...brings tears to my eyes....

La beauté pure de la musique !! Une chorale jeune et hyper-talentueuse ! La soliste - Helen Charlston - a une voix magnifique !!!

Her voice, phrasing and interpretation are impeccable!!!!♡

This choral arrangement is breathtakingly lovely!

This rendition is hauntingly beautiful and enchanting. This is a piece of art.

Beautiful harmony and control. Beautiful voice, that soloist has.

That is so beautiful, the sounds of the human voice, what a gift some people have

This beautiful song has many wonderful renditions, but this is one of the best!!🌟

I happened to run into this wonderful piece of music by Michel LeGrand, about four years ago. I since have heard it sung by many artists including Frank SInatra, Barbara Streisand,, and best of all Tony Bennett. The lyrics are in my opinion the best love song ever. I am 92 years old and became a widower five years ago. how I wish I could have sung this to my dear wife whose mind became scrambled to dementia. The young lady soloist was absolutely angelic. My deepest congratulations to whoever thought out this choral presentation. It goes in my #1 favorites list. Please put it on a CD.

Toujours une répétition de la même phrase,une forme d'obsession chez mr Legrand..... un désir de refaire pour être sûr que le sillon sera traçé à jamais! Oui mr Legrand un style qui laisse une "empreinte" un amour de ce qui est précieux! La vie! Merci mt Legrand Un patronyme à votre hauteur!

I do not know how many times I have listened to this, and it NEVER gets old. Magnificent!

Her voice is Angelic.Pure unadulterated pitch perfect voice I have the privilege of hearing.I can’t wait for her to graduate&start a recording career.

She really has one beautiful voice. I feel I'm so far away when I hear this song, like I'm sitting by the fire with a girl I had a crush on in my youth, sipping a nice red wine together on a cold winters night, holding her tight by my side. No money in the world can replace that. What can??? Emilio😊😊😊😊

My mother LOVED this song…but she only knew the Ingram/Austin version. She was a choral director, mezzo soprano performer - rare, beautiful operatically trained voice. Music was her life. She knew of this choir, she listened to their Faure Requiem (beautiful). She died last month. It breaks my heart into 1000 pieces that she didn’t know of this wonderful version…she would have loved it. 😭 😭 😭

No one, but no, one sings “The more I love, the more I am afraid” better than Helen …… just stunning, telling the story … wow

Her singing and the arrangement sent chills up my spine. -so very, very moving...

Wow wow ❤

I LOVE the accoustics of their performance. What a beautiful job they all did.❤❤❤

Dude vibing in the back is a mood.

This is a really moving arrangement and Helen is outstanding. Fantastic vocal talent backing her too. I hope this performance is enjoyed by many in the future.

What a touching and crystally careful performance!

My favorite version of this amazing song, congrats!❤

Married nearly 57 years, together much longer, this applies to us.❤

Can't imagine leaving a comment on something so perfect. What to say. Thank you!

this song saved me in June of that year, i was with covid 19, i was already giving up when a friend sent me this song, when i heard it it brought me back. gratitude 🙏

That was breathtaking

Très belle voix et limpides ! Excellent chœur ! Ensemble très homogène ! En plus ils sont Jeunes ! Bravo !🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 un moment de pur régal !

I can't imagine a better soloist, a more extraordinary chorus and a more sensitive conductor for this exciting song. This is choral music at a stratospheric level: it doesn't happen very often to have this opportunity. Carpe diem :-)

A beautiful song by the late great Tony Bennett.

Absolutely stunning arrangement and amazing vocal harmony of this beautiful song. Gives me chills every time I hear it. ❤

Thankyou all so much❤

The best version in as far as Im concerned. Helen Charlston made the big difference. The choir is fantastic. Their voices sounds like singing angels.

One word ... Outstanding ...

Achingly beautiful. Emotionally moving and pristinely controlled. Bravissimi! Helen Carlston is my new hero!

Andělská hudba, která mě rozplakala ❤

"I know the way I feel for you is now or never, The more I love the more that I'm afraid That in your eyes I may nor see forever, forever. If we can be the best of lovers, and be the best of friends. If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows, With any luck then I suppose- THE MUSIC NEVER ENDS." Growing up I've always been a Michel Legrand fan. This morning as I was having coffee and some toast with peanut butter, I opened my computer and saw this post by a colleague on fb, so I thought I'd give it a listen. Just as when the solo came in, I found my self unexpectedly bursting in tears. Not only the beautiful rendition touched my heart, but after not hearing this song in a long time, it shook my inner feelings, touched my profound and deep emotion, my soul. And with all the craziness that is happening in the world right now, if we couldn't live together in peace and harmony, I ask, "how do WE keep the music playing?" Ms. Helen Charlston, your solo is just stunning. Just the perfect amount of emotion, warmth, temperament, expression and grace, yet very powerful. I could listen to your fantastic voice all day. Very inspiring. Thank you. As we are currently inhibited from doing what we do best and love, this is one of those perfect reminders not to lose hope, and that sometime, someday we will be back together in concert-- for love conquers all, and that any form of hate has no place in our heart. Then I suppose- truly music never ends.

That was absolutely gorgeous! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

wow !!!! no words needed !

The entire thing is mesmerizing! Love you all!

A beautiful voice that melts one’s heart…music such like this transcends time.

Wow!!!… Beautiful singing, arrangement and choices of music and venue!.

This version is insanely addicting! #OnRepeat🎤📀🎞

Was für ein tolles Stück

Bravo à tous pour cette superbe mélodie. 😌🙏🕉

I'm speechless. This is how you define the word "perfection." What a masterful performance.

CHILLS... AWESOME. 2022 VOICES OF ANGELS. FOR HARRISON SÁNCHEZ BENDICIONES

Bravo! (from Charleston, SC btw)

Worthy of a Bach's chorale. Simply beautiful.

She's a real life Disney Princess I swear

The wonderful Helen Charlton

Allow me to enjoy, the moment I heard this for the first time.

Just beautiful, first time,every time!!!

With music by Legrand, and lyrics from the Bergmans’, the only topping on that duo would be hearing such a magnificent chorus and soloist perform their masterpiece to perfection. I’ve played this a dozen times today and am amazed of the quality and balance of this choir. It doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you so much for posting this, it made my day.

Merci pour ce moment de grâce. Magnifique chanson et sublime interprétation.

Superb singing and music making! Brava Helen and everyone! What a treat! ⭐️❤️👏

A sublime blending of voices. Thanks be to Msrrs. Layton and L'Estrange and the Trinity Choir. Words fail to do justice regarding Ms. Charlston. ...and could we be remiss in regards to the inspiration of Legrand and the Bergmans. The song originally came up along the closing titles to 'Best Friends', starring Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn. It fell into relative obscurity for me until resurfacing in the Sinatra/Quincy Jones collaboration 'LA is My Lady' whereupon T. Bennett, Shirley Bassey, J. Mathis and others, many of whom took it over and made it their signature song.

Can't stop listening to this. It touches my heart.

Could not be said better!

Bravo !!!

It's too bad we are allowed to hit the "Like" button only once. Oh well... This was lovely. My mum passed away today and I needed something soothing. I've been hitting the replay button a few times before Ieaving a comment.

Fascinating! Magical! Ingenious! First class musical performance!

OMG. i shed tears listening to this.

If Heaven has a sound, it´s the sound of this choir.

I'm getting goosebumps!!! Beautiful !!! Stunning !!! This song just toughes my heart 😊

Beautiful...young people.

If music can bring people closer together, then it has probably achieved the highest of all goals. This song is undoubtedly a pearl and touches a lot of people very deeply in their hearts when it is arranged so masterfully, so courageously rehearsed and so lovingly and sensitively interpreted as we can experience it here. Many thanks to everyone involved! Every musician knows how much work it takes to make such a miracle happen.

The soloist's quality and volume was perfect...and beautiful diction as well. Seemed like a King Singer's arrangement. Amazing !

Heart felt and yes she is very special,

out of this world beautiful. The complex harmonies sound so simple so effortless. The world of today's is in very good hands. You got it right.

OMG ! Thank god for youtube suggestion algorithm ! THIS IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!

Präzision kann man selbst erlernen, das wunderbare Timbre von Helen Charlston aber ist ein Geschenk Gottes. Vielen Dank für dieses Video an alle Mitwirkenden!

I agree what everyone is saying hest. I would give almost anything to be there in that chapel that day. To hear it live reverberating through the chapel would have given me deep down shivers! My heart probably would be beating fast. I love great music so much!

Helen - this is simply remarkable. Your singing for The Self-Isolation Choir with FIERI is amazing. This, however, is remarkable. Stephen and the choir - thank you.

Absolutely beautiful! I always love the same music sung by James Ingram, and this version of interpretation has brought the same music into the new level. Just love it so much!❤️

I started the Self Isolation Choir course today learning this sublime song with the fabulous Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and the wonderful Helen Charlston. We’ve had the privilege and joy of singing with Helen and Fieri for many of our SIC works.

God i miss singing in choir. Of course my local church choir cannot be compared to them lol. But to sing together as one, no ego, making your own voice blended perfectly with the others making (if done right) a beautiful harmony..

MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!

Such an incredible arrangement and the soloist is amazing

This is fantastic. When I saw the link title, and the date, this choral director thought...Oh... here will be some helpful tutorial about how to proceed with life without choral singing. Well, no, but thank you for this sensational gesture, reminding me of an example of all of the amazing choral singing that has been going on in the world. I am weeping as I write. We all corporately sigh as we figure out how to make music like this in masks and keep our droplets to ourselves. Sing on people. In gratitude.

This is the sound of the sunrise and the sunset happening at the same time. I love how the bass vocalist in pink is keeping the downbeat and feeling the groove. Gorgeous vocal arrangement. And the lead vocalist is just pure love. I want her to be my daughter. LOVELY. JUST LOVELY. Thank you for this.

Holy cow the chills

Wowsers! And other American low-brow but meaning-well euphemisms. I was a singer in the Cantare Chorale and wish we had thought of this, but after hearing this most perfect version (and I have heard Tony and Frank, and Barbra, and well, you know) I am cornswogeled and gollywhomped. Just a most perfecto arrangement of notes and voices that have ever graced any venue, even a cathedral. And I once toured there but they were not there. Well, I am 81, so they were probably not born yet. Okay. They are all whippersnappers. But I loved what they did. I forgot the !!!!

Splendid!

I weep everytime. Waiting and praying for my wife to return to our marriage and family. Thanks for your prayers.

Fell in love with the Tony Bennett /Aretha Franklin version, then came across this, makes me cry, simply awesome! Can't stop listening to the music playing.

Gorgeous!

Thanks for bringing tears to my eyes with this gorgeous performance!

TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT - I wish the instructor could have this group cut a full album and DVD, etc., of music like this. Superb training not only in the music but the studio techniques. BRAVO.

Sublime!

Soooo angelic....wonderful, pitch perfect...so amazing! Very very heavenly. Thank you for showcasing such enormous talents!

A Beautiful Song Beautifully Sung.

Trinity College, thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful music! It is Thanksgiving here in the United States today. I wish you all many blessed days to come, and much to be thankful for. 🇺🇸

Awesome version of this songh!

Magnifique ,émouvant!!!Passer après Sinatra et....faire ce petit bijou.On ne peut être qu'admiratif.Un duo Sinatra /Helen Charlston avec ce coeur un rêve!
