I think Robert Burns would have been pleased with this. It's a beautiful poem about loss & for me Part just got it right.: Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North, The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. (Chorus:) My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. 2: Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow, Farewell to the straths and green vallies below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

David James voice is unique, profound and sensitive. The best version by far!

If you like the voice of countertenor David James, you should also try the album ´Officium´, which he produced in 1994 with his colleagues from Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek: www.amazon.de/s?k=officium&i=popular&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

[@stonefireice6058]

Beautiful scenery of Norway, on the border to which in Russia I spent a few years. Very appropriate to the Burns poetry. As for the music by Arno Pärt, it would sound strange, if you are not familiar with Georgian chant or Arvo’s music itself! Arvo became very famous as a new wave- avant-garde composer in Estonia in the 60s. You could hear his music all over Estonia and even the rest of the USSR. I’m happy to hear it again through KZbin! Well done

The tessitura of the tenor's voice on a single pitch and the organ registration provide sheer magic to the piece. Bravo Avro Part.

[@beauforda.stenberg1280]

What do you mean by registration?

[@icebabe327]

Registration is the choice of different sound options which the organist can select and combine to create different timbres. A bit like a composer using different sections of an orchestra to create a variety of timbres. Hope that helps 😊

Hay algo en mí, No sé que es, Se centrífugan las noches, Quisiera ser desconocido, Para descubrirme de nuevo, Hay un altar al revés frente a mí, Se rezar, pero no alabar, No he aprendido a soñar, Esos destellos de arcoíris ¿Me reflejan? La luz nunca ha sido amistosa conmigo, Solo se mirar al sol, Hay una armadura detrás Que solo cruje de vieja, Mis pies fangosos, Mi sonrisa cínica, Voy a cruzar en los pasamanos De hielo, Que extraño calor, Es hora de perder, Un error lo salvara todo, La verdad tiene un fin, El horizonte se comprime, La Luna cae en mis ojos, Un alma cegada, Un aliento inmortal, El petricor me ahoga, Me siento.
