Just lovely This song was one of my Dads faves & to hear it sung by so many wonderful voices is a pleasure beyond words Thank you & please continue uploading you have no idea the peace a Welsh mans choir brings to others Ta from Dublin, Ireland
This New Yorker writes to say thank you to Solstaro for being nice enough to post this for us all; and also to these wonderful men with the lovely voices who sang it. Blessings on you.
Very impressive performance and I can't help it as I listen but to sing along with utmost feeing and emotion. Incidentally this song is my newly uploaded video # 17.
Accept my congratulation and thanks also to uploader.
I'm so proud to be welsh! Thank you for reminding me of this! Cymru am byth.... These valleys shall always echo with our voices within these pastures green, Let us forever keep the land of our fathers a place where their souls rest within the arms of our superb choirs! God bless this land! (R.I.P Gy, My inspiration and my hero in life and from beyond). I shall make you proud and keep your teachings alive as best i can. No other land comes close to the depth of our soulful, proud voices,.
I used to care for a man with dementia in a nursing home years ago, he was in a welsh choir when he was well, and we had a tape of him singing this solo. We would play it in the morning in his room as he was waking up and we got his things ready.I never knew what the song was but loved it. Gives me goosebumps.
Bravo, gentlemen! One thing about the choir-master though: he had the knack for putting together a talented ensemble, but unlike high school or college students, these are grown, responsible men, very capable of learning their own parts and very likely finding and making the time to rehearse away from the main meetings...it is very likely some of them know keyboards themselves for this purpose.
hmmmmm such a robust sound from the men the piano sounds kind of obsolete and childish next to their full sound.. I loved the mens arrangement.. but not the piano.. I think, ( in my opinion) it would have been better w/o the piano.. but great none the less
Lovely song and interpretation. If you'd like to hear "one of the finest Male Voice Choirs in Wales" sing Bring Him Home then come to Rossett Church (LL12 0HE) on Saturday8th May and hear the Rhos Orpheus Male Choir in concert!
Are there any concerts due this year , And if so , where could I find out . Can you purchase tickets at the venue ?? Would be most grateful for any Information .
I agree with Bryntomos I went to the Eisteddfod to see another choir but were most impressed with the Cantorion Colin Jones and will be following them with interest now. It was a brilliant concert an evening to remember!
The choir gave a heart rendering performance of this song -nothing short of perfection - at last nights opening Gala concert of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod .The performance must have been especially poignant to one Terry Waite -sitting in the front row. . I will never forget it!
Typical British choral tradition, with a flavour of Russian choral thickness and a sense of patriotic and manly pride... I didn't hear such beauty until one month ago. Thanks Youtube: I discovered one more choral treasure.
my father died yesterday nd i remembered my choir when i was in ps sang this, nd i watned a choir to sing this at my dads funeral but i cant find anyone who sings this in melbourne as a choir =[
I understand this choir only meets once every two weeks - the Musical Director deserves the highest praise for putting together such a talented ensemble - the resonance of the baritones is truly captivating - bravo meister
Bravo! Purely Heaven. What a stunning, beautiful sound. The way your voices blend...I have sung for many years in a Very talented group...it takes ALOT of work...and even mroe talent...to blend that well together... I am blown away... PLEASE post more!! God Bless!!
Lovely, beautiful voices! Only thing is, Ive found with mens choirs, that no matter how good they are they cant convey the emotion in the song as effectively as one singer can.
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE...sung just unbelievably...phrasing...tone...control...EMOTION...thankyou wow ! I hope that this choir comes to AUSTRALIA sometime...
but, hey they kinda ...um... blow you away by the end. Superb phrasing here for just a popular show song. Beautiful depth of feeling. Light and airy accompaniment. A gem.
are there any Welsh lyrics?

I wonder what the choir sound like the accompaniest is too near the microphone? Do they do a cappello?

@PNCCaine Because the microphone is too near the piano. It's not a professional recording, but the choir still has a good tone..
