"Gentlemen, it's been a privilege playing with you tonight."

[@FK_TRUMP]

😥😢😭

[@ethanpierce4900]

How sad but yet admirable is it that in an effort to prevent panic amongst the passengers, they gave their lives to stay and play such a beautiful hymn to God. “Nearer my God thee..” I hope others use this in their lives. We all can make a difference in today’s world by setting a Christian example like they did! “Greater love no one has than to lay down his life for another,” John 15:13

Sounds like a studio recording, not one made on the deck of a ship. Is “cello-synching” a thing?

[@JustinLepard]

Yes haha. I didn’t even think my green screen work looked that great so thank you 🙏

[@justabodyguard3599]

I was playing along, crying becuase my great grandmother died, this was the song at her funeral. I thank you. Gotta wipe the tears from my viola.

[@JustinLepard]

That’s beautiful to hear ❤️

[@randomcommenter8137]

Took me 47 Seconds to realise these guys weren’t quadruplets and they weren’t actually on a ship

[@JustinLepard]

Nice :)

[@davekanak]

The Real Titanic Song, they played as she slipped slowly beneath the waves. ❤

[@jonthanz]

this is absolutely beautiful, i love this arrangement.

[@JustinLepard]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@sgsellsit]

THe cello is on of the most soothing instruments. It speaks quietly but with authority. Not a screeching owl like a violin.

[@JustinLepard]

Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@ushidanouchida]

I wanted to play the cello, but it's way expensive, so I got a chinese violin 🥲

[@JustinLepard]

@@ushidanouchida If you ever wanted to try cello, I reviewed a fairly decent beginner one recently on this channel that’s not too expensive :)

[@ristovskiv]

Violin a screeching owl? In a music academy the violin players are the most musically gifted people btw. Probably the hardest intrument to play and perfect.

[@vickiwalker5948]

I hope that's said in a light humour....I play violin and I love it Cello is ❤

[@turcobr3986]

People say, if you mention the name titanic on a cruise ship, boat, etc is considered a curse.

[@Nomulus64]

can you remake this video but with the methodist version of nearer my god to thee?

[@JustinLepard]

Probably not for this channel, since I already made this one and the channel is meant to be secular. If you or your church have a budget and want something custom like that, however, I’m more than happy to make it. In either case, thanks for watching!

[@Nomulus64]

I do have a budget if you mean money but I actually want it for my personal use as I do not attend church I just would like to hear the melody on strings and if you were to make this which channel would it be on?

[@JustinLepard]

Hey man, sorry for the delay, I just realized I don’t get reply notifications. Yeah we could talk about posting it. I could just send it to you. If you’re still interested email me at [e-mail] and we can keep talking there.

[@helenmears6178]

Love love love this tho it's disputed hotly whether in fact this was ever played on the Titanic. The other tune could've been 'autumn'

[@JustinLepard]

Interesting! I’ll look into that story and maybe find the song

Mais Perto Quero Estar Harpa Cristã Mais perto quero estar Meu Deus de ti! Inda que seja a dor Que me una a ti, Sempre hei de suplicar Mais perto quero estar Mais perto quero estar Meu Deus de ti! Andando triste aqui Na solidão Paz e descanso á mim Teus braços dão Nas trevas vou sonhar Mais perto quero estar Mais perto quero estar Meu Deus de ti! Minh'alma cantará A ti Senhor! E em Betel alçará Padrão de amor Eu sempre hei de rogar Mais perto quero estar Mais perto quero estar Meu Deus de ti! E quando Cristo,enfim Me vier chamar. Nos céus, com serafins Irei morar Então me alegrarei Perto de ti meu Rei Perto de ti meu Rei Meu Deus de ti!

Beautiful! ❤️‍🔥

wonderful performance by four brothers who wear the same shoes, same long sleeve shirt, sport the same beard, with identical looks!

At least they so chose different ties ;)

Jesus the bridge between men and God, may this song makes you get nearer our King Jesus

[@AlanGarcia-zu4vw]

Amazing! Bravo!

[@Kingtsunami100]

I'm as manly of a man as you can get. I fight MMA, play sports, shoot guns, race cars, hunt, everything you think of men doing I do, but the sound of a violin or a cello is the only thing on this planet that brings me to tears! The 2 most beautiful instruments in the world ❤

[@JustinLepard]

I feel you bro 🫶

[@DHCC]

Very well done, thank you for this.

[@JustinLepard]

Thank you 🙏

[@atommckee4735]

Things seemed quite rushed along compared to the solemn tempo of the original however you will always play more beautifully than I ever will

[@JustinLepard]

That’s definitely the nicest way to offer some feedback or critique :) and maybe you’re right, I definitely have a tendency to play fast. Thanks for the comment friend

[@DrOz-pe5fh]

Do you think the band on the Titanic played it in a rush since they knew they are sinking?

[@MILO_320..]

April 14-15 1912.

[@ManuelSantapau]

Cool! Music, performance and video editing are great! Congratulations!

[@JustinLepard]

Thanks so much!

[@delbinholzfaller59]

what arrangement did you use? it is the best version i have heard .

[@JustinLepard]

Thanks man! I just found a free midi version and pulled it up in Logic as a quick and dirty reference. I think I tweaked it slightly where it sounded off, but yeah it was pretty straightforward. Then just tried to play it well haha. If I still have the session I could export the midi for you if you want.

[@leonardosiscari3732]

Maybe in heaven we can say: Jesus : it's been a privilege play this song with you, but there we shall be forever with Him

Well right but then how would I film all the parts? The only other way to do it that I know of is if you have perfectly stable lighting and motion to mask it. Haha

Thanks for the suggestion! For clarification, do you mean cross posting shorts from longer videos, or making shorts with the quartet/layered production style?

I’m not sure what you mean lol. Chose a ship pick for a green screen background cause this song was in the movie Titanic

[@nawaazabd701]

Do you happen to sell the score for this arrangement?

[@JustinLepard]

I hadn’t thought it would be that interesting since I’m basically just playing the normal string quartet arrangement. But if it would be useful to have the cello specific score, I can make it and upload it to the site where I sell sheetmusic. Thanks for the interest ❤️

[@nawaazabd701]

It would actually be lovely to have the score. Please let me know if you’ll be uploading it. Thank you so much ☺️
