A Gaelic Blessing (John Rutter) SATB choir

[wallbaa]

I like it very much I'm singing in chorus is very very nice and quiet

[HerbyPumpkin]

The composer says he is Agnostic about whether we have a heavenly, loving Creator.

But his music and words seem to convey some deep mystery that convey that maybe it is both true, - but also utimately uncomprehensible to the human spirit.

@HerbyPumpkin  me a gustADO MUCHO

[MasterWojna]

I will sing it with choir in Poland. This is really beatifull but very hard to learn:(

[bellnor757]

It is so refreshing to hear high quality singing from a group of young people. To the choral conductor... I tip my hat to you for bringing out the bright and light tonal quality of your choir. They sound better than many full professional choirs. Gorgeous rendition if Rutter's gorgeous work! Thank you and God bless!

[jucaloverio]

It´s something like be in heavens when we hear a so inpired music and lyrics.

God bless all of you.

I loved singing this in my choir days...

[fgbowen]

Really - it's awesome - don't misunderstand me - you really have done an awesome job.

But... I just wish people would take their time more.

and... you can do better.

... but really, ... good job.

Dear Clewsmonkey, Sometimes the soul needs to soar, sometime it needs to rest and some of the time it simply wants to enjoy its being. You are clueless as to where this music has its place,

[Clewsmonkey]

What utter tosh. Whenever I sing this rubbish or anything by Rutter in my choir, a bit of me dies inside, it's just so cheesy and sickly, it just baffles me that people want to listen to this rather than far superior choral composers who learnt their skill from the great classical tradition rather than Elton John!

[ajnoku]

find a new bitch, clewsmonkey. you've put the same comment out about john rutter for at least 6 posts that i can see, you tool!

[TheVoiceforgod]

hey boy, could u shut up? dont listen or sing if you dont like. PERIOD. but do not shit about people with talent or those which are done for god.

[gypsylover11]

Everytime I hear this piece, I reflect back to my time in high school choir and just cry. It is such a beautiful piece and so reflective. Thank you for posting this.

[y0urlilcut]

wow. the acoustics are AMAZING. this choir is wonderful!

[Dogsandcats14]

haha we are singing this in chorus! OMG hahhaa

[bretlovesdonuts316]

this has got to be my favourite piece of music we ever learned when I was in the North Ayrshire Schools Choir (I sang soprano 1 but I'm no longer in a choir)

[leodoido]

blessed interpretacion

[ThykLette666420]

ehhh the sopranos sound like lil kids while everyone else has a more mature voice.... Altos could bring it out a lil more other than that it was good

[margotlorena]

I agree with you, nevertheless this is a very good performance, nice sound and acoustics

[ecfiss]

Deep peace of the running wave to you

Deep peace of the flowing air to you

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you

Deep peace of the shining stars to you

Deep peace of the gentle night to you

Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

Deep peace of Christ, of Christ the light of the world to you

Deep peace of Christ to you

[margotlorena]

considering the fact that rutter is not a religious person, he writes very good religious music

[frankendolly]

Despite composing and conducting much religious music, Rutter told the US television program 60 Minutes in 2003 that he was not particularly a religious man, but he is inspired by the spirituality of sacred verses and prayers.[1] The program, airing a week before Christmas 2003, focused on Rutter's popularity with choral groups all over the world, and on his composition, Mass of the Children, composed after the sudden, tragic death of his son Christopher, a student.

[dumbsoprano]

Very beautiful! My high school choir sang this at every concert--I love the brightness of your sound.

[Roseburg93]

[musicedworld]
