Sing along with The King's Singers: Abide with me

[@seniorskateboarder5958]

I remember starting to sing this hymn when i was a little boy. I'm now 70 and still remember the words. These gentlemen did a beautiful job.

[@ArviHurskainen-gt7es]

I learned this as a kid in Finnish. It is a soothing melody that can be listened to agein and again. King's Singers do a great service by making these melodies available to us, together with scores.

[@bemoll7311]

This crystal-clear voice of the soprano boy is fantastically beautiful, simply marvellous.

[@m0bob]

They seem to get younger! :-)

[@icguy]

You should listen to them singing "Esti dal". It's an older recording with a different lineup but they sing it so nicely (as you would expect). Also the baritone has such a good Hungarian pronounciation. Ugyanitt bojler eladó (ez amolyan köszönésféle a fiatalok között az interneten, akkor szokták írni, amikor valaki nemzetközi weboldalon Magyarországról beszél, nem árulok igazából bojlert :) )

My mother brought my sister and I to church. The music kept me going. It took a global pandemic that has kept me from missing services and choir rehearsals. Perhaps we can sing through our masks?

My mother developed Alzheimer's and could not recognize her daughters. Her beautiful singing voice and reading of bed time stories became a monotone with indication that the words she did remember ment nothing to her. However, prior to her death she kept repeating one word over and over with feeling and emotion: "Jesus, Jesus, . . .

Although I myself am a Christian, I think you don't need to profess Christian faith to appreciate this hymn. Listen to the words, for example.

The problem of showing the music is that you realise that they have totally disregarded the dynamic markings. The performance is well blended and smooth but with very little soul and feeling. Good to listen to as a background music but poor as a means of communication.

Growing up singing this hymn it remains a favorite. It is common for various renderings to be published and verses added and deleted over time. I’ve noted in several renderings (including this one)that a favorite verse is omitted: 4 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. Well done and keep the hymns coming!
