Sheep May Safely Graze - The Tabernacle Choir

[@MrCrnipeter]

J. S. Bach was really a genius. This choir performs very well.

[@judypowers1634]

I was blessed to be able to sing this with a Regional Church Choir in California more than 30 years ago. There were 300 people singing in this choir, we had an orchestra and we traveled to the different areas to sing. We did sound like the Tabernacle Choir. Max Fisher was our Choir Director. It was wonderful. 💕

Judy Powers Oh choir singing is such a positive experience which touches and grows the soul of anyone involved!🙌🌾

[@sallietaylor8503]

My award winning girls choir at Wombwell Secondary School , South Yorkshire [1950's] sang this with just as much gusto. It brings tears to my eyes.I miss my school days and the wonderful music mistress Miss Betty Phillips.

This should be the Lyrics ! Sheep May Safely Graze Sheep may safely graze and pasture In a watchful shepherd's sight. Those who rule, with wisdom guiding, Bring to hearts a peace abiding, Bless a land with joy made bright.

[@RogwinMusic]

THANK YOU!!!

[@anitahuie1145]

It's so beautiful. I get tears in my eyes. I want this played at my funeral.

[@tomlynntigard]

It's more a hymn about our living God's provision and protection, not being laid to rest. Try "Little Dreams" by The New Wave...we don't die, just transition.

[@sandee3073]

I completely agree with Anita. It would be a beautiful funeral selection. Yes, it’s about our God’s protection in life here on earth, but funerals are the the living, and this selection is a beautiful reminder to them that we all graze under our Shepherd’s protection for the rest of our lives here, until we join Him in paradise one day.

will be played at my mothers funeral 22.May 2020

We are all sheep who have grown astray! Christ is our shepherd!

[@harryfishback8173]

Speak for yourself I am just as my creator made me this is a beautiful piece but I dont buy into any of your Bullhuckey. The greatesrt miracle performed by Jesus Christ was to be born theonly blonde Haired blue eyed white man in the entire Middle East. I didnt know California Surfer dudes actually come from Jeruselem how uncanny.,

[@KitMcLellan]

Perfect

[@alfonsomartinezmompean7626]

Thanks for this more than beautiful upload. Most of versions in KZbin are instrumental but chorus is very important here.

[@jinnymudlark1815]

There is also a beautiful one from 2017, from the Second Church Choir.

[@lepingstepp7401]

So perfect! This song must be chorus! This is my favorite too, and this version is very high quality. Thank you so much!😊👍

[@JillKnapp]

Today I learned that this is the favorite song of Joe Jack Talcum from The Dead Milkmen. 💗

El rebaño puede pacer que bella interpretación.

Nice *****

Please slow it down to provide a greater influence of inner spiritual feeling

[@edifyguy]

This is Christian music. Unashamedly, uprightly, not imitating the bawdy sounds of those who revel in sin, and in glorious excellence. Would to God that churches would return to this today as a norm.

[@pope0331]

I could mostly agree with your comment but... despite that Bach was eminently a strong Christian (Lutheran) he wrote this cantata just to celebrate the birthday of one of his employers and the words have nothing to do with Christianity at all.

[@davidmehnert6206]

To be fair, I think you could safely give credit to “Katherine K. Davis with Leopold Stokowski”, and intend no disservice or slight whatsoever, this arrangement being so perfectly transcendent. I’ve never been in the SLC venue, nor heard the MTC anywhere in person, but I’m seriously impressed at the (many) live recordings I’ve watched, knowing the challenges for both conductor and performers when there are considerable physical distances between ensemble players. Sound does not travel fast enough to overcome the gap, and so the training, and sensitivity, involved in anticipating the beat is ... well, let me just say, I’m humbled the achievement, just witnessing it. And if the world ONLY knew the MTC was an all-volunteer, unpaid gig for its performers, I think you would have all the many more enthusiasts like me. (I hereby volunteer to be your unpaid publicist in that regard.) An excerpt from a much longer poem by James Merrill, THE CHANGING LIGHT AT SANDOVER, came to mind as I watched this a few minutes ago, transporting me to another favorite place and time in England, perhaps even so far as the dream of Jerusalem as Blake imagined it in his celebrated poem ‘Milton’.. But for today, the last word belongs to James Merrill (1926-1995): MIRABELL’S BOOKS OF NUMBER, 0.9 ...All that follows, they will be glad to know, Takes place in the course of one summer Of 1976. Most afternoons (While Time stood still, or took a little nap) Found me with DJ, back at the round white table Under the dome of the red dining room, Taking down our Voices old and new. (One last thing to slip in-this watercolor Of Avebury-a bookmark for the moment, Until I find a better place dor it: Within a “greater circle” (the whole myth Dwarfed by its grass-green skyline) stand Two lesser, not quite tangent O’s Plotted monolith by monolith. Two lenses now, whose once outrippling arcs Draw things back into focus. Round each stone (As Earth revolves, or a sheepdog barks) Rumination turns the green to white. It’s both a holy and a homely site Slowlier perfused than eye can see (Whenever the stones blink a century Blacks out) by this vague track Of brick and thatch and birdsong any June Galactic pollen will have overstrewn.) - James Merrill, 1978/1982

[@darr1954]

It's a lovely arrangement, isn't it? This was very popular in the 60s and 70s in the public schools.

This may be the second most stereotypical religious piece of music in the world (the most stereotypical one is the Hallelujah Chorus)!

[@wgd01121945]

From where can I obtain the sheet music for this?

[@Gwenifar100]

This is Bach, you can by / or download the sheet music everywhere. The original words: "Schafe können sicher weiden"

[@karlakor]

The tempo sagged considerably from what it was at the beginning.

[@larikipe940]

Yeah, it did, but even so, it is a breathtaking rendition.

[@wgd01121945]

From where can I get the lyrics and the sheet music?

[@maxclavenna4495]

Did you see how many singers were in the choir and how far were they from conductor? Not to mention the delay due to acoustic. It Is a miracle itself anyway, my friend and It takes away nothing from the beauty of the music, on my humble opinion :-)
