As a member of the CBC Youth Choir in the late 1950s we spent quite a while learning this intricate music by Benjamin Britten. I went off to England to go to University and don’t know if it was ever performed on TV! It’s a treat for me to hear it in its entirety. Thank you!

lovely

Beautiful

Sang this in 1994 with Portland State Chamber Choir. It’s been one of my favorites ever since.

Thank you ❤❤❤

Not gonna lie, this video really makes me want to go to U of T just to join this choir

Escolania sempre espectacular

Dreadful operatic sounding soprano. Would be much better with less vibrato. Needs an orchestra to do it justice.

Heavenly

Comme c’était beau! Une chanson qui évoque des larmes, est de parti de l’histoire de mon payée. Si triste.

Beautiful!

I sang this with a chorus in Portland, Oregon, and loved it. I later used it in my wedding. Today is our fortieth anniversary, so I wanted to hear it again.

Greatest piece of music ever written by human hands

4:44 - my choir sang this!

I noticed this was being recorder properly- it will be wonderful to hear the proper audio!

Very beautiful ! Merveilleux !

Absolutely beautiful!

I have a KZbin channel

Wow wonderful!

What gorgeous - and yet strangely dark - music. Such a blessing to have MacMillan keeping deep Catholic music alive.

O, Sabbath rest of Galilee! O, calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee, the silence of eternity Interpreted by love. Drop Thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease: Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess, the beauty of thy peace.

De szerettem ezt a művet énekelni, igaz, kicsit más felfogásban. Nekem az jobban tetszett.

Had to watch this for school

Utroligt smukt

The LDS hymnal has the words "O God, the Eternal Father " to this tune.

I sang this piece in the Bruges Cathedral with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir in the summer of 1972. Instead of the flute obligato, Ron Romm and Fred Mills of the Canadian Brass played a trumpet duet obligato introduction. Being close to Flanders, the audience was well aware of the Canadian connection of the poet John McCrae. Although the audience had applauded previous pieces we had performed, there was a reverential silence that followed our performance. This was one of the most memorable events of my 25-year career with the TMC. The chorister's eyes filled with tears and we had difficulty presenting the next piece on the program because we couldn't read our musical scores.

How sad that there hasn't been any comments. Well, let me be the first. I was introduced to the music of William Billings when my high school choir I was in sang Shiloh. Still is one of my favorites. This song was very well done. I'm not a professional musician at all. But I do enjoy good music when I hear it. I heard it here. Thank you for putting it here.

Good! Pacy, light and dynamic.

Why it be so quiet

In 1961, while as a member of the CBC Youth Choir under renowned Dr. Elmer Iseler, we were learning the Dances from Gloriana. I had to leave the choir to go to University in England and never got to perform them! I have waited all these years to hear them and I am far from disappointed. Well done!

Gospel meets catholic . Yes ! THAT is church music !

So Beautiful!

Outstanding composition and choir.

Just got done singing this at the 40-year(!) anniversary concert of the Sangre de Cristo Chorale, Santa Fe NM. It is a privilege to sing this music.

Beautiful! Spot on. Especially love the alto line on the final 4 Alleluias

Now i can finish my music project

Horribly out of tune, could definitely be better.

A very convincing performance, very well prepared.

J'me tripote le salsifi.

This drifts awfully. Tenor needs a basic grasp of passaggio...he's leading the tuning astray.

I love this song so much. My chorale group is getting ready to perform this song tomorrow. It speaks true to those risk takers who have made lasting impacts in our lives
