Awesome.

Gone to my play list of Beautiful Old Songs (1) .

Thank you David for posting.

Sounds similar to Barty's arrangement, especially the signature chromatic descent in the last line of each verse. Any idea whose arrangement this is? Great recording, thanks for posting.

Thank you for commenting! The only information I have on this is from the album cover. In the general description of contents, it says 'arranged for male voices', and nothing further. The recording was done in May, 1954, four years before commercial stereo recordings were widely available. Sorry I can't be of any more help on this!

Best Regards,

David

Wonderful unabashed romanticism. When the men of the Robert Shaw Chorale sang as song, it stayed sung.
