Litanei by Franz Schubert

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you all for listening and commenting! I love this song.

[@gretularhamburg8200]

So wundervoll und einfühlsam gesungen. Gratuliere !

[@ronaldpries6882]

Danke Ed, du hast mich berührt mit deiner warmen und gut geführten Baritonstimme,.Ich gratuliere dir einenzu dieser Darbietung. Du hast die Psyche des Textes und der genialen Musik Schuberts zum Leuchten gebracht. Nach allen Versuchen, dieses wundervolle Musikstück auf den internationslen Konzertpodien, abzuwraken, setzt du dich ans Klavier und gibst diese Lied dahin, wo es eigentlich hingehört, nämlich in die Herzen der Zuhörer. Wie heißt es bei Beetbhoven, ...was mir aus der vollen Brust, ohne Kunstgepräng erklungen nur der Sehnsucht sich bewusst.... Bravo Ronald Pries.

[@edgabrielsen4725]

Danke sehr.

[@philiprostek]

What a wonderfully moving video, what a beautiful voice... Thank you!

[@qw3rtydud3]

You have a lovely voice... such a pleasure to listen. Beautiful song.

[@gingerbreadhaus1]

WOW!! Gorgeous voice. Hope you are sharing it a lot!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you for your comments, and thanks to all those who have commented on this video post. It's a homemade video, and I really needed to brush my hair or something. But I love this song and it was such a pleasure to be able to sing it.

[@RAHoratia]

What a lovely voice and beautiful interpretation of this fine song. Thank you.x

[@fourstrings48]

I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this video. The singer really means every word and every note that he sings. I felt drawn in, not as though I were having the song thrust upon me. It may not be the voice of a Souzay (my favorite singer) or of a Fischer-Dieskau, but it's the perfect voice for a true Hausmusik performance: warm and intimate. And the occasional glitches in the piano accompaniment only add to the sense of intimacy. Avanti così!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you for listening to my music. I appreciate your comments. Avanti cosi!

[@Rabbityear1768]

What a voice! So pure and full of tenderness. Superb interpretation.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you.

[@stevehall9887]

Your breath-control is superb and we love the quality of your voice. Thank you for adding so much to our evening's listening. Steve and Heather, UK.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you. I have a very good teacher, and to him I give all the credit for my ability to sing. I am glad you enjoy my music. Thank you for commenting.

[@baritonliebe]

Hi Ed, I really was impressed by your wonderful performance- Franz Schubert would be delighted ! Many greetings from Hamburg

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you

[@user-LapaLuchs]

Gut gemacht!Sehr schöne Stimme!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you.

[@johntmarohn1]

I love the tender tone and the focus of your voice. One of the most poignant renditions of this haunting piece I have ever heard, my friend. Keep putting up more utubes. Thanks

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you

[@misshasoonjukim9909]

Wow!!! Amazing voice you have. I am jealous on your gift!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you! I have a wonderful teacher who taught me how to sing.

[@Massakers]

BRAVO BRAVO ! What a great voice

[@eszterszabo9753]

Very nicely done both piano and voice. Thank you!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you for listening to my music, and for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@russedav5]

Alle Geister, die, voll Klarheit, Wurden Märtyrer der Wahrheit, Kämpften für das Heiligtum, Suchten nicht der Marter Ruhm: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! Und die nie der Sonne lachten, Unterm Mond auf Dornen wachten, Gott, in reinen Himmelslicht, Einst zu sehn von Angesicht: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden!

[@ternitamas]

so beautiful! Amazing legato!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you!

[@TobiasSing]

Wow, this so very beautiful!!! What a wonderful voice you have. And the tiny little mistakes on the piano make this even more touching and authentic.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my music.

[@johnsantoro1958]

Bravo, and thank you! You are a gifted singer in every sense of the word!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you

[@absportherapy]

Honestly, this is outstanding, I'm so jealous, a wonderful talent

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you

[@monumentofwonders]

Boy, I like this. So simple, intimate, and direct. So much Lied is sung in too operatic of style. I think Schubert would have been happy with this.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you Roy.

[@italianamiei]

I love your voice, so true and musicianly.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you for your comments, and for listening. I'm glad you enjoy these videos. It's been a while since I posted anything new, but I am working on it.

[@russedav5]

Simply exquisite. Hopefully you can add the beautiful text being sung I've provided below so folk can follow along (9 strophes ): Ruh'n in Frieden alle Seelen, Die vollbracht ein banges Quälen, Die vollendet süßen Traum, Lebenssatt, geboren kaum, Aus der Welt hinüberschieden: Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! Die sich hier Gespielen suchten, öfter weinten, nimmer fluchten, wenn vor ihrer treuen Hand keiner je den Druck verstand: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden!

[@timheavner6293]

Searching for music for a friend's memorial service, I came across an organ transcription in one of my books. I decided to search the title on KZbin and found this. Lovely singing, beautiful voice. I wasn't familiar with the song; so glad to have discovered it! Thank you for posting.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you for letting me know. I'm glad this was helpful. Peace.

[@angelzapata6685]

Bellísima voz y admirable ejecución. Mil gracias.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you

[@KV4671]

You know all about singing en pianoplaying, and surely Schubert is the love of of youre life

[@richardkassel4288]

You are beautiful - the combination of your accompaniment to your own voice is really gorgeous!! Signed - Admirer in New York city.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you Richard you are very kind. It's hard to believe 7 years have gone by since I made this recording.

[@mattthericker]

I love the sensitivity and meaning you bring to this piece! The shift into upper-middle register can be really, really tricky at softer dynamic - I really wish I had an instrument like yours. Have you ever tried Schubert's "Lied eines Schiffers an die Dioskuren"? Very similar to this. I think you would like it.

[@RainerLienert]

Wonderful voice and great performance of an amazing composition of Schubert!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you Rainer!

[@petelovesbevsills]

I've just stumbled headlong into this utterly delightful rendition of Schubert's Litany and am so glad I did! Bravo!!

Liebevoller Mädchen Seelen, Deren Tränen nicht zu zählen, Die ein falscher Freund verließ, Und die blinde Welt verstieß Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! Und der Jüngling, dem, verborgen, Seine Braut am frühen Morgen, Weil ihm Lieb' ins Grab gelegt, Auf sein Grab die Kerze trägt: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Dankeschon! Thank you for listening and for writing.

[@russedav5]

Und die gern im Rosengarten Bei dem Freudenbecher harrten, Aber dann, zur bösen Zeit, Schmeckten seine Bitterkeit: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! Auch die keinen Frieden kannten, Aber Mut und Stärke sandten Über leichenvolles Feld In die halbentschlaf'ne Welt: Alle die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden!

[@MaxLuetgendorff]

Beautiful Voice!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you Max!

[@EdGabrielsen]

Hi Matt, thank you! I love "Dioskuren" too, what a great song! I used to wish I had a voice like somebody else, you know, like Thomas Hampson or Jussi Bjoerling or Fritz Wunderlich. Then, I just decided to use the one I have. It's worked out ok. You can learn how to make that shift, if you want. You need a good teacher- someone who is more interested in beauty than volume. --Ed

I think I've met you before. I'm also a baritone who enjoys singing the art songs. I'm also a friend of David Stevens, whom you may know. Nice singing!

[@edgabrielsen4725]

Yes, I studied with David for a year, and then he introduced me to his teacher, Walter Foster.

Thank you Roshi

My girlfriend asked me to tell you that she is a big fan of your music, as I am.

[@EdGabrielsen]

Thank you very much. I'm grateful to you both.

[@Gwallteriedig77]

Very nice - great stuff. As good as B. Terfel's version!

[@pekkak.2724]

Hey, you must be New Orleans Saints fan,according to those wallpapers...

[@EdGabrielsen]

Haha, it looks that way, but this was recorded in a church that was built many years before the New Orleans Saints were around!

[@BernardProfitendieu]

a beautiful voice like your deserves a better accompanist! haha!

[@edgabrielsen4725]

Haha! That is funny! Good accompanists are rare, but anyone could play this better than I did!

What an interpretation! May I ask a question? I'm working in Die Mainacht by Brahms. Could you give me any advice concerning this piece I

did you get your grades, yet? Are you living in Perkins Hall?

[@edgabrielsen4725]

I'm doing my internship now. Sorry I haven't kept up with these youtube videos.

[@EdGabrielsen]

I graduated this spring, May, 2020 with the MDiv from Perkins. Hope you are well.

[@normancascioppo1456]

@@EdGabrielsen congratulations. esp in these dire times. Are you in Dallas?

[@normancascioppo1456]

wish you were soloist @ our xrch.

[@EdGabrielsen]

where is your church? I'm in seminary now in Dallas, Texas.

[@normancascioppo1456]

in Seattle, WA. I went to music school @ Southern Methodist U. In Dallas. You have such a beautiful voice , why aren't you a voice major? Most singers don't do lieder anymore (just opera) but good singers all include lieder. put some songs on you tube. do Mondnacht by Schumann

[@EdGabrielsen]

That's cool! I'm at Perkins, right next door to Meadows, going back to school at age 53! Many years ago I was a voice major at SMU, and also at a U. of Arizona and Sam Houston. Thank you for the compliment. I like Mondnacht. Last year I gave my first performance of Dichterliebe. I haven't posted anything on youtube for a while. What's your instrument? I really like lieder, and I don't have the voice for opera.

[@normancascioppo1456]

how did that performnce go? I used to live @ Perkins hall dorm. Went to SMU when it was hot shot school. organ major (&choral conducting). All the good teachers are gone, now. Congrats on going back to school. will you become pastor? I came back to U of W switched majors to piano because you get arthritis practising organ in cold xrches. did you study w/ Tommy Heywood?

[@EdGabrielsen]

It was ok, but I liked the French and Italian on my program better. Dichterliebe is pretty difficult and I would need to sing it about 10 more times to really get it. Perkins dorm, sure. Tommy Heywood was here but not my teacher. It was 1983. I really liked Lloyd Pfautsch. Did you study with him? practicing in cold churchs, I understand. Im in the MDiv, so yes I'd like to go into ministry...if I make it through systematic theology! But my first love is singing. So, I will come and sing for you when I am in Seattle next!

[@KV4671]

De pianobegeleiding klopt niet helemaal maar de stem is heel mooi.

Yes, I agree. Thank you for listening and commenting.

Thank you.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

This is so "authentic" - a beautiful, strong, Germanic, but reticent voice, some wrong notes on the slightly out of tune piano, a lot of rubato (I won't say too much!). Music at home, rather than in the hall. Considering Schubert was only really discovered after his death, this is authentic

[@EdGabrielsen]
