"The Vagabond" by Vaughan Williams [Justin Little, baritone] 

I always loved this song, but the character he brought to it gave the song an entirely new dimension. Absolutely magnificent!

Lyrics! Give to me the life I love Let the lave go by me Give the jolly heaven above And the byway nigh me Bed in the bush with stars to see Bread I dip in the river- There’s the life for a man like me There’s the life for ever Let the blow fall soon or late Let what will be o’er me; Give the face of earth around And the road before me Wealth I seek not, hope nor love Nor a friend to know me; All I seek, the heaven above And the road below me Or let autumn fall on me Where afield I linger Silencing the bird on tree Biting the blue finger White as meal the frosty field- Warm the fireside haven- Not to autumn will I yield Not to winter even!

I sang this for my college entrance piece and your version superceded anything I could ever do, my jaw is still on the floor! Wonderfully done sir!

Excellent portrayal, and what a voice. He really brings the character to life. I sang this for my A-Level Music practical exam, and it holds a special place for me, I'm so glad I found this performance.

I'm having trouble describing my reaction to this outstanding performance. the superlatives I know would be faint praise.

Fantastic. He had me frightened for him ... The Vagabond will be dead in a ditch at 40, and he knows it.

I can’t stop watching this! I’m a freshman in high school and could only dream to put so much character in my voice like this guy does. Seriously well done. I hope that I could do this well if I ever preform this piece.

Gorgeous! Expressive and interior at the same time, you are a magnificent storyteller ... and your voice is captivating.

Blown away, awesome performance!!! keep going...

A fine voice.

This is the best version I've heard. Talented and skilled expression of the character. Thank you!

today is the first time I hear this, when searching for "baritone": Beautiful

Wow !!! This is what I always expected this number to sound like. Very enjoyable and a great performance. And kind regards for the pianist

Had my hair standing up! Absolutely perfect

this is absolutely amazing!!!

Superb performance. Thank you.

This brought back memories of my 11 year old self being stirred by this dramatic song in music at grammar school -

Wow!!! Amazing voice!

Why is this in Bb min instead of the standard baritone C? Would be well within this young man's range from the sound of it, the lowered key makes the climactic parts sound less climactic.

Amazing deep voice

Well done, sir. Well done !

1:35 just time stamping myself for practice :)

Thank you. Excellent.

Magnificent!!

I am currently writing a paper for my voice lesson, and I was just wondering what year he was at the time? If you do not have this information, that is alright.

I should have a score in your key, it's much easier for me as I'm a bass/baritone (probably) that is closer to the bass side of things and would probably benefit from this being lowered for the time being as I haven't quite found the right technique for my high range, anything above high D sounds eh out of my voice

Nice voice quality.

Very nice!!

Anyone know the key he’s singing in?

terrific

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What key was this transposed to?

thanks i sang this for an assessment

sehr tolle stimme! very nice "i" position.Super!

im doing this song for contest but in tenor 1

Im a baritone lmao and hes way lower More like bass 2

bravo

I have to sing this and I’m only a freshman in high school

He sounds much more like a base

Really great, but the tempo was was a touch too fast for me, and I think the tempo needs to be a bit more fluid.

Excellent remake of f voice

I'm all for great diction but am not a fan of "chewing the words."

1:30

Reminds me of the Batman theme.

K

Too bad it's not the original key

Sko buffs

The voice is too polished for this piece! lovely voice but not for this song!
