Turtledove

[DaniBug92]

this song is for my beloved late husband jakob issayic grimm. may you rest in peace my sweet, sweet king.

[GremlinsAndGnomes]

This song is beautiful. I'm singing it in my choir right now.

[DFInside]

I really like the voices in the song. I think I'd like it a lot more if the tempo was a bit slower.

[MsLolKittehs]

omg my school choir is doing a version of this song... but its way shorter than this... the verses in this order start with: "Fare you well my dear i must be gone", "so fare thou art my bonny lad", and "the sea will never run dry my dear".

that is the only verses and at the end it has a few "fare you well my dear"s and then at the very end, 2 " farewell"s

and sorry to be so rambly, i just think you sung that song so very beautifully.

[cupcakekiller94]

we r doing the techno one of this for my school!!

[Digilolita]

Did u guys play the piano yourself???? oAo;

[HeartWithATear]

does anybody know where I can get the original folksong "The True Lover's Farewell"? I'm dying trying to find it =(

[Narut0NineTailed]

very good, best version of turtle dove I've heard yet. I remember when my middle school choir sang this song, ah the good times...

[BubblyShadow]

This song is one of my favorites, I cry when I listen to it, yet I'm strangely calm after. The vocals were amazing!!!

[puppydl6]

this is going to make me sound like a big jerk... i hate how these two people sing this song. now dont get me wrong this song is beautiful but i think that my choir sings it better. this song did make me cry the first time i ever listened to it too

[LoveAtFirstGlance]

[hanterkant]

I like the piano part. The voices are not really connecting, but the combination of both is very beautiful.

[MegaNOTW]

[6ale6xis6]

i got my solo on this when i was in highschool <3 it was my favorite

[LiberalTheatre]

I'm doing a solo version of this song for collage and wanted to see how other people sang it. This is by far my favorite version! I love it! :D

[agathaplaysthecello]

c la meilleur chose que j'ai entendue ça fait vraiment longtemps. j'adore la voix masculine surtout où il chante, ‹‹ So fair thou art ›› pa tati pa tata.

[ranyagirl22]

[blueherron95]

[agathaplaysthecello]

@blueherron95 ouais je sais moi aussi.. haha

[TheCrazyCookie7]

This song is beautiful. I sing it in my school's chorus. WIsh I could sing like the lady in this though.

[Kuromi0211]

im singing this in chorus :D

but there are more lyrics in what you have than what were doing

[ONIstar113]

@Kuromi0211

Hey we are too! I wish it was long like this one, though :(

[ranyagirl22]

@Kuromi0211 really? we have even more lyrics than this

[flutterrbye]

great song!! where can i find the chords for the piano?

[ginaw1175]

I love this song

[teresanevels]

This is a huge song to sing in choirs

[pfuchs11]

were doing this is in our chorus right now

[ONIstar113]

I love this song!

[BlackVenomousRose]

Amazing. I adore this song. It beings back happy memories. You two sing it wonderfully. =)

[starwarsjunkie73]

I think this song does not need to be slower. This is a completely different version altogether (note it even has some new lyrics that weren't in the choir version). Also one should not that this song is a duet between two people, so I think that the speed is a unique aspect to this particular version, while keeping the same feel of the choir version. Its like comparing granny smith apples to a cortland apple. Even though the same fruit its still a different style.

[SimulereAvDetPokkerz]

Yeah...I sang this song for a choir final, and it was definitely slower. Great job, though. Sounds absolutely amazing.

[rydon100]

who is this song originaly by

[snowwolf123123]

I am singing this song & i 1/2 believe it should be alittel slower.

[monkeychamp08]

i sang this song at my choir concert

[starwarsjunkie73]

I have sang this song before also, like many of the other people who have commented, but this may easily be one of my favorite versions I have heard. The lady has a great voice and the harmonies are so cool. I can sort of tell that perhaps the two singers are in love. These two people need to sing on forever. "If Music be the food of love sing on"

[SspChrome]

we sang this last year

[bananamonkey800]

we're playing it in orchestra! 2nd orchestra in the world to play it, after the st olaf orchestra. but its almost even prettier here :)

[bananamonkey800]

What lyrics are you using? I can't find them online to save my life :( Could you please post them or something?

[SspChrome]

she posted the lyrics

[McMc0226]

Im sing this song in chorus this year, but we sing it like 100 notches slower hahaha!

[Disney2000000]

so are we! and exactly just a lot slower than thi right here!

Lol its such a pretty song!

[Frogs4Jeanne]

Im singing this song in choir this year, its a fun song

[hollyn45]

doing this song in chorus. saprano.

[chibichuckles]

me too, I love this song.

[supermonsterpowere]

i loved it...the last verse is"oh yonder doth sit a little turtle dove, he sits in yonder high tree. a making a moan for the loss of his love as i will do for my dear, as i will do for thee."

[naramurasaki]

You know what would have made this even MORE chilling?

Is if the original lines were used at the end:

"Fare ye well, my dear,

(Fare ye well, my dear)

Fare ye well, my dear,

(Fare ye well, my dear)

Farewell,

(Farewell)

Farewell..."

That's the version my choir had to sing, and it sent chills down our spines when we sang it.

[CrystalKat180]

Your harmony is beautiful and the blend and intonation is almost perfect. I know this song, so I can tell what the words are, even though i sang a different version. But at 1:24 I think Jak ran out of air and got a little flat. Also at 2:14 it got harder hear GRL because the music swelled a bit louder than the voices, though I could still hear Jak fine. Maybe the distance from the microphone? Anyway, the rest of the song was pretty much perfect and the ending was beautiful. Nice job!

[jhartman09]

this is a very interesting arrangment. my choir did a SATB acap version of it. You both have dipthongs eerywhere that come from trying to make it sound like it belongs on the radio. also, the male voice has problems with the lower notes. make sure that you chest those notes, dont try to keep them in your head. but overall, very nice. very unique

[xoxoskittlez]

this is so beautiful! I want someone to just play it on piano and put it on here, though. That'd be wonderful.

[blindaurora]

Constructive: Make sure the person with the melody is the more prominent voice. Some of the double entrances and cut-offs were not together. Also, you guys soud like you have some trouble with your "i" sound. I particularly noticed it with "my love," "while" and "miles," Make sure the first part of the dipthong is very bright and tall.

Yay: Did you guys do this arrangement? It's really lovely and so haunting. And I loved the folk sound your voices have. Beauty!

[TerranSano]

This is so Beautiful!!!! My school's men choir (and I think Bella choir too, not sure) has to shing this.

[HarumiHitori]

Such beautiful voices...I'm still dreamy.

[Themechanicalgenius]

This is absolutely beautiful. Your voices calm the storms in my very soul. It's so soothing...

[katzeengel]

I first heard this song way back in middle school and fell in love with it. The performance is positively beautiful. Combined with the video, it's absolutely heart-wrenching. Fantastic work!

[EmoBearz1]

You two did a beautiful job singing. And a wonderful video, too. Great job!
