The King's Singers - O, chì, chì mi na mòrbheanna (arr. James MacMillan)

[@FrancescoGuardi]

Dear King's Singers, today I came home from 2 weeks in hospital because of corona with critical moments. Your music was the soundtrack of my getting better. I know for sure: every note sung by you wonderful guys is more than only perfectly done music. Thank you for this from germany, I'm with you!

[@carolinebaxter6880]

This is one of the few pieces that calms my six-month-old song down. We've played ever since we brought him home from the hospital and it got us through a lot of 2am feedings. Thank you so much.

[@עופרהלבנוני]

מרגש ביותר

[@theweeflea]

I'm an exiled Highland Scot in Australia - this moved me to tears....extraordinary...beautiful...

[@jenniferdeleon7425]

Please excuse my ignorance, and if I’m crossing a line, please just let me know. But I had no idea Scots were still being exiled?

[@joshuawilson4818]

This is so well blended that people will start a petition for you to change your name to The King's Singer.

[@bfunkt4313]

This is perhaps the finest I have ever heard of the King's Singers. Very excited for what lies ahead!

[@davigiacomel5882]

I didn't understand a single word, but this performance brought me so, so many and deep emotions... beautiful, just pure beauty

[@michaelkavanagh5947]

It's about a geal going home.

[@ajcampbellone]

The progression at 2:52 is simply stunning. Love the bass balance.

[@marsmensch1223456876]

Such a calming song, beautiful arrangement and stunning video! I hope this line-up stays together for a while, because they are just so wonderful ❤

[@fusion4262]

I 'discovered' this a year ago at the start of the pandemic and I am still listening. It is hauntingly beautiful, perfectly blended. It is just so calming and melts away any/all troubles, burdens and pain. Thank you.

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

incredible. I'm Northern Scottish and clan Cameron is one of the clans I'm related to.

[@karlmylnere5712]

Such potential, very promising young lineup already producing their own unique sound given, perhaps another year and they will rival any previous incarnation.

[@stevederebey]

Outstanding! See you in Santa Fe very soon! Can’t wait!

[@JimmerJamesKM]

Stunningly beautiful singing there Gentlemen! Simply gorgeous sound. If not for such long distances and lack of $, I wish I could hear you live! I loved this piece! 💖 👍 🎶 💜

Chorus (after each verse): Oh I see, I see the great mountains Oh I see, I see the lofty mountains Oh I see, I see the corries I see the peaks under the mist I see right away the place of my birth I will be welcomed in a language which I understand I will receive hospitality and love when I reach there That I would not trade for tons of gold I see woods there, I see thickets I see fair, fertile lands there I see the deer on the ground of the corries Shrouded in a garment of mist High mountains with lovely slopes Folk abiding there who are customarily kind Light is my step when I go bounding to see them And I will remain there a while willingly

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Sue Ellen Hall thank you very much.

I know nothing about this music but I'm seized by different emotions such as : joy, sadness, beauty,..... I love you dears.

[@KevinElamMusic]

just brilliant. unbelievable performance of an epic arrangement. well done lads

[@coloraturaElise]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@joeowens6180]

So very beautiful, as it always is. Makes me proud that my father was born in Scotland.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

Wow your sound has really developed. You sound more as one voice now which is lovely. This is a beautiful piece which I don’t think I have heard before. It is very calming and ethereal. I didn’t think anyone could replace David Hurley he had such a special clear beautiful tone but Pat is really starting to fill those shoes...and I loved Stephen’s bass so I was determined not to like Jonathan. It has taken me a long time to appreciate it but I have suddenly realised what a lovely resonance he has and those low notes... omg I don’t hear them I feel them reverberate in my chest. I hope you stay together for a long time now so that you can develop and meld into a sound as good as when the group contained David, Paul, Stephen Et al. You’re on your way!

[@mireillestutz5493]

Ich bin sprachlos! Welche perfektion! Einfach himmlisch - vielen dank - gott segne euch alle 🙏

[@janissim8498]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, made me so homesick!

[@stephensass7931]

The goosebumps from 01:14 - 01:38. In fact, the whole song

[@emilythompson3756]

Stephen Sass yes!

[@mercure314]

moi aussi

[@karlmylnere5712]

As a codicil to my previous comment ,the current lineup are more than equal to any previous crew , in my opinion the best yet , a thoroughly modern sound which can only get even better in the coming years , much more listenable , not so precious as some lineups , excellent stuff.

[@markjohnston6146]

Jimmy Macmillan, what an ear!

[@jbrownbyu]

Year after year, always incredible.

[@angelachapewa5942]

Great and marvelous singing!

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Amazingly beautiful- thank you!

[@phillipecook3227]

When this dystopian madness is over I shall make it my business to hear them live again if it kills me.

[@jenniferspring8741]

[@matthewhubbard2584]

[@Erikaa..5..8]

As always... Great performance! I've been twice to see this guys... I love their voices!

[@emilytolman46]

So beautiful!!!

[@eversinging]

Well done! Pat, I will say you have improved immensely (not that you needed improvement) ! With David Hurley leaving and you following those footsteps, you are continuing a legacy of precision and unparalleled tone. Hope to see you all again when you are in my area.

[@linlasj]

I agree. I love this sound of TKS.

Just splendid! The only change I would enjoy is English sub-titles.

[@JamesBrown-mt5ru]

Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home. There shall I visit the place of my birth And they'll give me a welcome the warmest on earth All so loving and kind full of music and mirth, In the sweet sounding language of home. Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home. There shall I gaze on the mountains again, On the fields and the woods and the burns and the glens, Away 'mong the corries beyond human ken In the haunts of the deer I will roam Oh ro soon shall I see them; Oh he ro see them oh see them. Oh ro soon shall I see them the Mist covered mountains of home. Hail to the mountains with summits of blue, To the glens with their meadows of sunshine and dew. To the women and men ever constant and true, Ever ready to welcome one home.

Original Scottish Gaelic Sèist: O, chì, chì mi na mòrbheanna; O, chì, chì mi na còrrbheanna; O, chì, chì mi na coireachan, Chì mi na sgorran fo cheò. Chì mi gun dàil an t-àite 'san d' rugadh mi; Cuirear orm fàilte 'sa chànan a thuigeas mi; Gheibh mi ann aoidh agus gràdh nuair ruigeam, Nach reicinn air thunnachan òir. Sèist Chì mi ann coilltean; chì mi ann doireachan; Chì mi ann maghan bàna is torraiche; Chì mi na fèidh air làr nan coireachan, Falaicht' an trusgan de cheò. Sèist Beanntaichean àrda is àillidh leacainnean; Sluagh ann an còmhnaidh is còire chleachdainnean; 'S aotrom mo cheum a' leum 'gam faicinn; Is fanaidh mi tacan le deòin. Sèist Fàilt' air na gorm-mheallaibh, tholmach, thulachnach; Fàilt air na còrr-bheannaibh mòra, mulanach; Fàilt' air na coilltean, is fàilt' air na h-uile - O! 's sona bhith fuireach 'nan còir. Sèist Four more verses appeared in the Oban Times in 1882 written as follows: Chì mi a' ghrian an liath nam flaitheanas, Chì mi 's an iar a ciar 'n uair laigheas i; Chan ionnan 's mar tha i ghnàth 's a' bhaile seo 'N deatach a' falach a glòir. Gheibh mi ann ceòl bho eòin na Duthaige, Ged a tha 'n t-àm thar am na cuthaige, Tha smeòraichean ann is annsa guth leam Na pìob, no fìdheall mar cheòl. Gheibh mi le lìontan iasgach sgadain ann, Gheibh mi le iarraidh bric is bradain ann; Nam faighinn mo mhiann 's ann a stadainn, 'S ann ann as fhaid' bhithinn beò. Fàgaidh mi ùpraid, surd, is glagaraich, Dh'fhaicinn na tìr an cluinnt' a' chagaraich, Fàgaidh mi cùirtean dùinte, salach, A dh'amharc air gleannaibh nam bò. English Translation: Chorus: O, I see, I see the big mountains; O, I see, I see the steep mountains; O, I see, I do see the corries, I see the mist-covered peaks. I see without delay the land of my birth; I am welcomed in the language I cherish. I will receive there hospitality, and love when I reach it That I'd trade not for tons of gold. Chorus I see there woods, and I see there thickets, I see there the fair and most fertile of meadows; I see there the deer on the ground in the corries Hiding in mantles of mist. Chorus Lofty mountains and resplendent ledges, There dwell my own folk, kind folk of honor. Light is my step as I leap up to meet them; 'Tis with pleasure I'll stay there a while. Chorus Hail to the blue-green grassy hills; Hail to the great peaked hummocky mountains; Hail to the forests, hail to all there, Content I would live there forever.
