My Great Grandfather's cousin wrote this! Honest:) Handel Parker. He was on a train, humming it. Another passenger said "That's a deep harmony". Hence the name. You learn something every day.

Wish I could hum in harmony.

[@kepnjem]

Brian Alexandre Me too! My great grandfather was a farmer in Oxenhope. Not a musician but they were all devout Methodists.

[@Matuku35]

A beautiful harmony. Have played it many times in various brass bands. Very moving.

[@kepnjem]

@@Matuku35 My grandfather loved a brass band. Bless him. He was one of the few who returned from the battle of the Somme.

To clap or not to clap? 2 minutes silence. But if you are grateful, well, okay. Basic four part harmony in brass was my bread and butter as a child. It got me in the guts... deeply. A lot of these "hymns" can be shattered by the tones of anything sharper than that of a flugelhorn horn. Contrast offered by a single cornet can be beautiful. To blend a large cornet section so as not to shatter the peace of the composition is no easy task. To sustain the "hummmm of peace" I would try splitting the cornet section in two, alternating & overlapping the the two calfs so that there is no perception of breathing. It might stop my heart as a listener, but it would be a nice way to go. This performance was good.

Yes, a Standing Ovation at the end which they richly deserve. This has a good simple wide angle camera shot. No need for zooming in and out on individuals. That distracts in some instances.

When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the King of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.

[@neilmackay9307]

I was waiting for the soprano cornet in the second verse and my eyes filled with tears the moment I heard it. Absolutely outstanding performance of what I know best as part of the male voice choir repertoire

[@keebearfull]

Pure tone. Well blended. Dynamics are wow!

[@popeyepaul1jazzy543]

This is the first brass band piece I ever played as a young lad on third cornet. I still love it

[@Noidlewords]

Me too.

[@premier1guy]

Wonderful! Brings back the sweet chorales we played in high school (which was an incredible band). All of this is great, but the tubas melted me with their rich tones.

[@willigenzwurker4837]

Mit diesen Klängen werde ich diesen Planeten verlassen

[@GollyVids]

What happened to the rest of the tune?

[@H15GWP]

A beautiful Traditiional Yorkshire Hymn Tuneb where Brass Bands still flourish. This is a lovely rendition. Enjoyed.

[@slievebearnagh]

"Beautiful" - No more words needed.

[@soundsdigital]

What happened to the end of this? They finished at V3

[@mistag3860]

Its a bit slow - the congregation would run out of breath every line!

[@Rob73428]

Beautiful playing of a wonderful tune. Love the deep bass sound.

[@davidwilliams5863]

[@helmutbuntjer9566]

Schön. Sehr.

[@Gingercornet]

Some things stay in your heart forever. Your first love. And Deep Harmony.

[@michaelrandall9034]

My “red headed” old man introduced me to the cornet as well as this hymn tune. Your comment touched my heart.

[@taxicamel]

Not a fan of the "phrasing". This piece should be played like a pipe organ with stagger breathing throughout with only a break in the middle. The stopping is just wrong.

[@tridentmusic5570]

Behold he comes, and leaves the skies! Awake ye slumbering mortals, rise! That's how I know this tune, but with brass, GOOD brass...superbly moving.
