Ave Maria (Bach Gounod) | BBC Young Chorister of the Year 2021

[@CormacThompson]

⁉NOW it's 3 years later!👇hear what I SOUND like in 2024? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnmmYmiBocllqLcsi=qkQjXEUeAygQsXDh 👈👈 I was 12 when I sang Ave Maria, it was 2021 😀 I’m 15 now, my voice changed during 2023. I have a new album too, it’s available here 💿👇shop.cormacthompson.com/ 👈☺ All the tracks on it are listed there too. Carefully selected, from previous releases. Singing starts 1min 7 secs if you'd rather skip the interview, it is a nice watch though, I promise. Massive thanks again to @notjusttwo for making it possible for us to share Cormac’s clip. This was his first major singing competition, after this performance he made it through to the final. Everyone who took part is an excellent singer and we'd like to give a big shout out to Ruby (2021 winner), Mila (2021 runner-up)

Cormac, I have been waiting for this very day to go over one million views. Folks are now beginning to recognize you today. And your subscribers so pleased to see. There will never be another Cormac. I have been a very loyal fan for one long time now. I have never listened to anything that I have never loved. Videos are also out of this world. Cormac just visited my Doc and forgot to mention you, meaning lower my bp. I checked my pulse yesterday after and during listening you sing was dangerously low. I in the past also checked my bp with my own cuff and yet again dangerously low. You do hold healing powers for all of us folks that know the true meaning of music. I pray and Bless you every single day for what you have giving to me over the years and so proud to support you in a couple of ways. The world is now beginning to wake up to the real true meaning of singing and music. My heart just bleeds of your voice regardless old or new it is the very best ever. The old man from Maine, Brad

[@CormacThompson]

Thank you very much for all your support Brad, it was lovely to have another video go over that million mark. It makes all the hard work worthwhile when that happens 😊

Beautiful, it's taken me back 55 years when as a choir boy and went on a pilgrimage to Walsingham with my church and with many other churches choirs there sang this in procession through the streets to the Shrine of our Lady, such fantastic memories.
