Aled Jones sings moving ‘Pie Jesu’ duet with his 13-year-old self | Classic FM

41 years ago, as a boy treble, Aled Jones lent his angelic tones to a documentary, singing classic songs from Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’ to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Pie Jesu’.
Now, as a baritone Aled has recorded duets with his former boy treble voice. His two voices blend perfectly, in this beautiful duet across this decades - filmed at St-Botolph-without-Bishopsgate church in the city of London.

This Duet with Aled Jones's child self was really moving. It's like a meeting through time, a contemplation of what his life used to be.

[@simoneemili9454]

This video is moving because it's like to sing with a dead person. That boy is him but, at the same time, he and his angelic voice no longer exist. Our past life is like a person who dies and lives only in our memories.

[@jennyricketts190]

I remember hearing young Aled singing this around the mid 80's. I loved his amazing voice then & still do ❤

[@JulioRodriguezed]

Extraordinary voice at both ages! 👏 thanks to recording technology, it is possible for this presentation and performance.

[@franciscocativiela9476]

Beautifull and perfect. Thanks A.L. Weber too for compose this piece

[@praxy2601]

I wonder how many in this world can do this..............to meet your past in the present.

[@gillianarmstrong955]

Thank you so much for this Aled. It’s simply beautiful to see and hear you singing with your younger self.

[@angelacooper2661]

He's only six months younger than me! I remember his boyhood treble voice not breaking until he was sixteen, which is very rare. And I am an amateur string player in an orchestra and sing alto in a church choir. This is in Ab major.

Am always grateful for being a christian so that I can enjoy this such a beautiful song

I'm not Christian and am able to enjoy this beautiful song.

[@bryanrai8930]

@@TheVeganPoet1what he means is that being a Christian he has a special appreciation for the lyrics, since the piece is quintessentially about Christian doctrine.

Goosebumps, shivers down my spine and tears in my eyes. So stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful.

[@maxaranguiz-peterson2323]

Great Duet of himself. He is quite a guy! Bravissimo!! It is interesting how little I know about this guy, except for England got talent, where it is hard to know his skills and talents. I truly enjoy his voice as a youngter and as a grown man.

[@grumpybumme3289]

Immediately brought tears to my eyes. Many thanks this is a brilliant idea. Aled singing this at 13 is still one of my all time favourites now I'll add this too

It's a beautiful life song that meets other generations of aled jones. Now I listen to it while drawing the 7th chapter of the Bishop's Cathedral of the Cross. It reminds me of the time I listened to this music when I entered the room playing the trumpet during the Cardinal's funeral mass. I saw 40 years of singing as one through the life and faith that the singer himself met as a duet. I support you on your path to become a precious artist. Thank you. 👨 🎼 👦 💕 aled jones 의 다른 세대와 만나는 아름다운 인생 노래입니다. 지금 저는 주교성당 7처 십자가의길 그림을 그리는중에 듣습니다. 추기경님 장례미사때 트럼펫 연주로 입장할때 이음악을 들었던 때가 생각납니다. 40년을 가수 자신이 듀엣으로 만나는 인생과 믿음으로 하나됨을 보았습니다. 소중한 예술가의길 응원합니다. 감사합니다. 👨 🎼 👦 💕

要聽全篇才能感到舒服（其前剛看過短片）,小男生的聲音就像在天上庇護的天使！大叔似是受庇護的代表,而我也已經是大叔了😅,其實已為人伯父,大叔只是自謙之詞！抱歉,說了一點不得體的廢話😅,總之,願天下好人永得庇祐,惡人早日改過自新！

This is funny! The guy sings extremely well at any age. But that doesn’t mean it’s not funny! It’s funny! Wholesome funny, but funny nonetheless. 😆
