@MrOmarProductions This song is a part of my all-state choir repertoire and we were instructed to do the same thing as well. It is pronounced "tehk" due to the Scottish origin this piece is based on. Notice that they also say "me" instead of what is written: "my". There are several pronunciation alterations made from what is written in order to imitate a Scottish accent, (then again the original song - from which the choral piece is based on - had these pronunciations alterations already in the first place)
@cecircinn29086 жыл бұрын
It is pronounced either take or tak ( a gentle natural sound )not this strange emphasis TAKIH, nor do we Scots sing "me and me true love " it's "me and my true love " . TAKIH sounds like Scotty from Star Trek ( or a 1940's Hollywood version of Scots) a poor caricature of the accent. Saying "Me and me true love" is a similar mistake (1940's Hollywood version of Irish.) These are the equivalent of Dick van Dykes London Cockney accent in Mary Poppins Here is a link to Run Rig and Scottish crowd....oh and we also sing "Ho, ho mo leannan Ho, ho mo leannan bhoidheach" Good luck with that bit :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX7XpJaqfJaMgdU .

As far as soprano's go, she actually really good. I (personally) just HATE that register. recording it is nearly impossible. Her voice is distorted almost the entire time because once she gets up to the high end of the lyric, the shrill nature of the soprano just overpowers the mic. Not to mention, the higher voice bounces around the room more so it's hard to actually hear the LYRIC she's singing. Not like I don't know it anyway, but it makes her sound like she's not enunciating well.

Actually I enjoyed this very much. The singing was of a very high quality. The pronunciation was quite good although there was a wee (in English "small") hint of Scotty from Star Trek in places. The only pronunciation issues I would highlight are the pronunciation of "tak" and "ye". "tak" (in English "take") could have done with a longer "a" sound like "taak" the high road. The "ye" in Scots ("you" in English) is pronounced more like "yay" rather than "yee". Great to hear this beautiful Scottish song sung by a talented choir of young Americans in Salzburg.

My High School is doing this song and it's such a great piece of music. Out of all the songs we r doing this one is probably the one that we learned the quickest because the pitches and rthymes r easier to keep up with and the song doesn't go to quick and it doesn't go to slow and we are all able to keep together in tune except for the Sopranos at the beginning of the song at Twas after Bass and Tenors finish up their first part. But it's been cleaned up and now it's perfect
Ok, to everyone who doesn't understand that this is a scottish song, this is a scottish song. Stop complaining they're using a scottish accent, cause that's what they're supposed to do.

Does anyone else find their unnecessary emphasis on the word “take” (tak) to be jarring and distracting from what would otherwise be an amazing performance? The audible pause after their hard “k” sound at the end of the word breaks the whole flow, makes it feel awkward and almost mechanical. Idk. They have beautiful voices and this is otherwise well done, I guess that’s why I am so hung up on this, seems a terrible and intentional decision. And don’t get me wrong, I understand how the word should sound if spoken by a real Scot, it’s not the pronunciation but the unnecessary emphatic pause after the word that I have a problem with. Ohh well.
