[@gustavomalvestiti9774]

Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life, and bid thee feed By the stream and o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice? Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, Little Lamb, I'll tell thee; He is called by thy name. For he calls himself a Lamb. He is meek, and he is mild, He became a little child. I, a child, and thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Listened to this a few times while my Mother was ill this summer. This is my first listen since she passed, with a tear my eyes I revisit and remember those sad days. Love you.

[@heatherstub]

I conducted this song with my choir in 2012 and we didn't come close to how ethereal this choir makes this song seem. The Tenebrae Choir has the ability to sing extremely softly without compromising the diction of the words or the dynamics. I use to tell my choir that a good choir can sing fff, but only an extremely great choir can sing ppp and this choir is a fine example of an extremely great choir!

[@eurilladornini]

great job maestro !

I'am glad you dare to admit that they are incredible, despite what your own choir is able to. Respect!

[@joachimmcdonnagh]

Does all good singing start with singing quietly?

[@margaret6839]

My family has this on a sampler CD of carols, and every Christmas when we are decorating the tree we put our carol recordings on. When this song happens we all stop hanging lights and get so quiet, and my dad cries. These last few years I do too.

One of the most beautiful choral pieces ever written Bless the family and memory of the late, John Tavener. He was a brilliant composer, arranger.

[@francescoconti985]

Music of the film "the great beauty"! Bellissimo film italiano!

[@laholly323]

IMHO, this is one of the most stunning pieces of music of all time, and never better sung than by this choir. I wanted to send it to my sister, and listened to every video, I think, before finally discovering this one. It is spellbinding.

[@o0omethvero0o]

This is such a masterpiece. I love the way Tavener creates those bittersweet dissonances in the verses which are then released into this beautiful four part chorus. This version is expressively and tenderly sung- a fantastic performance.

[@SoundingBowls-4u]

Outstandingly the best recording of this piece. The bass, that is pretty much missing in others comes beautifully, richly through, here. Thank you.

[@tanseygreen291]

[@SandraKirchmann]

I have been priveleged to sing this, and it is like being immersed woth fellow singers, the conductor AND the sudience in the sublime sacred. You trally have to concentrate on the music not to give in to emotion during the performance itself. What you feel has to go deep into the music to create an experience of oneness with the audience. You can cry when the conductor lowers the baton and there is that deep silence of sacred awe and unity the performance created---that silence before the clapping. Nothing like that kind of communion!

Superlative. The text, composition and performance. Who cannot be moved after hearing such a work as this?

[@heatherstub]

@World Trad & Ethno Folk Channel So am I. I was even more overjoied when I got to meet them, because I've always wanted to sing with a group like them. I feel God's pleasure when I sing in the choir, and I treat each song and hymn as though it's as precious stones. Only Heaven can inspire music such as this, and God wants me to sing it as much and as often as possible. So, why not. Indeed, there is no reason.

To my shame I have to admit that knowlingy this is my first time listening to this version.

I just cannot get my mind around how amazingly beautiful this hymn sounds.... I Loved it so much i had to get it on my music playlist.

Please don't lose that innocence; that lightbulb. It's music like this that can inspire anyone, but it you love music as much as I think you do, may God grant you your heart's desires! Check them out also through their channel here on KZbin, because you'll be lifted up so much, especially when things get rough, and you need that music to keep you calm and centered. You'll also get a high that's better than any drug or drink. I know that now, and I'm 55 years young. I've always loved music, too, and it's the reason why I'm alive today. Thanks be to God! I know it's been two years since you wrote your comment, and I really hope I find you as inspired as you were then. God Bless!

Absolutely sublime! I think he's part of the same musical trend coined "minimalistic", along with other great composers who haven't been celebrated enough I think, such as Vladimir Martynov, David Lang or Arvo Pärt. All to be found featured in "La Grande Bellezza", an extraoardinarily aesthetic and meditative film by Paolo Sorrentino. "Youth" also features Davi Lang's "Simple Songs". Must be watched and heard.

[@heatherstub]

Thank you for the suggestion. I love all those amazing artists. I simply like to call them gifted, because their music is a gift to a world that is so starved for rich, meaningful music like this. I discovered this when I became Orthodox Christian, and you'll hear it even more if you're interested in listening to the ancient chants that have been sung since weigh before Christ even became a human being. In fact, He was with the Father before everything was created as St. John's Gospel tells us. Tavener discovered this, too, and this is what led him to compose such marvelous music. It was a gift from God.
