Anuna : Greensleeves/Scarborough Fair, Feat. Linda Lampenius

[allriffnoraff]

I always thought Greensleeves was a purely instrumental piece of music, how nice to have lyrics to sing along to.

[TheQueenEolande]

Beautiful songs*

[TheQueenEolande]

Beautiful song. Beutiful outfits. Beutiful voice!

[MechaBecca42]

So beautiful. I love it! :3

[PajoLee]

Its been a long time since I listened to a version of Greensleeves other than Jethro Tulls "Greensleeved" (amazing bit of music), but gota say, really enjoyed this :) Great job on Scarborough Fair aswell, I may have to listen to more of your stuff.

[rjrog77]

This is, I think, the first version of Scarborough Fair I've seen in a while that doesn't use the counter-melody that Simon & Garfunkel popularised in their version. And much as I like the Simon & Garfunkel version, I like this very much as well.

[jakobari]

This is far the best version of Greensleeves that I have heard. Absoulutely great and beautiful voice! If I would make a movie and had umlimited budget this would be one of the soundtracks :)

[hparas1]

best version of scarborough fair. simple, pure, beautiful

[Luti77]

just bought a ticket to see Anuna in Alkmaar's Great Church early next year. I remember celebrating my birthday on the 14th of December a couple of years ago with an Anuna concert, one of the singers on stage had her birthday too. The beauty of 'Jerusalem' almost made me faint. One of the best birthdays ever! Can't wait to see you in 2012!

[LPM3950]

Magnificent harmonies! The harp and violin sound ethereal in SF.

[MichaelSirois]

Beautiful. Both pieces compliment each other extremely well. The vocals are perfect but the violin is what effects me the most.

[brezairola]

@roquefort88888 I'm not sure what your comment refers to...? I don't see any polarised opinion at all. I don't see any negative comments from people that enjoy traditional music on this video, and my experience with traditional musicians has always been one of mutual admiration. Anuna isn't traditional music. Its choral music. Legitimate disagreement? Don't know what this means at all. You may be referring to comments posted by a small minority of Celtic Woman fans. Maybe you could elucidate...?

[kelceejofarra]

@brezairola

I think what they mean is that, instead of everyone replying with such a literal comment, why not accept that others have a different opinion and ignore it if it bothers you. Also, I don't know what being a Celtic Woman fan has to do with anything...

[Saitoko7]

This is absolutely gorgeous....I haven't heard Anuna in such a long time. I used to have the first CD years ago, but had to sell it, so it's so nice to be able to hear some of those beautiful songs here! I will have to buy it again, along with every other one I can find! A tall order in Japan, but there's always Amazon, I hope! :)

[TheLolipopy]

Omg.. This is a miracle song! So good so clean so fresh so peaceful

[daisygirl513]

You have an absolutely amazing voice! A very talented group of people!!

[supportxourxtroopz]

Jesus, i'm into serious hardcore punk, but this is the greatest music I've ever heard. Its so beautiful and well performed. seriously.

[ac2008br]

Correção: eles são lindos!

[ac2008br]

Incrivelmente fabuloso!!!!!!! O som é perfeito e ele é lindo!

[hardyfh1]

This is excellent. A new name to me, but I have good ears. This is good.

[TheUnseenAudience]

this is beautiful!! I love it!

[Sedraen]

Why do I always see arguments going on on Anuna's video comments?

[brezairola]

@Sedraen Probably because most of what is written on YouTube is utter rubbish. Unfortunately we in Anuna really, really, really care about whatever it is that we stand for. Read some of the ones on Fionnghuala and Dulaman. They are particularly bad, or good, depending on your point of view.

[Sedraen]

@brezairola I know, I've seen quite a few very humorous comments regarding the language in Fionnghuala. Excellent performance, regardless, but still, they got a chuckle out of me.

[Srokathes]

@brezairola

i love anuna and that what they are standing for! they are the best chorus i've ever heard ... i'm looking forward to see them live and i'll buy their albums too

[cwfannumber1]

this is so soothing

[Whatever3114]

The castings for singrs and musicians must be very high demanding because there are a few ! Hotties out there...

[Whatever3114]

I listen to Anuna quite often, since accidently meeting them in Paris during the Riverdance years... They are extremely talented

[pasta4life325]

I think this is the second song that's brought a tear to my eye.... :')

[WildFrenchman]

@nerdface92

1) As a connoisseur of fine sarcasm from around the world, I take offense at your terrible sense of humor and tightwadhood.

2) Brezairola is both the composer and one of the singers.

Therefore, I concur with your belief that his blind and uninformed attempts to guess the song and singers' intent should be disregarded as soon as an expert such as yourself comes along with a valid opinion.

(See point number one.)

3) Uh...that would be me.

[nerdface92]

@WildFrenchman oh dear God...this was 3 freaking months ago.

1) i wasn't trying to be funny in any way...

2) really now...wow. just found out uploader=brezairola...hm. ok. so he's right. still. he could've probably done without some of the sarcasm.

i'm glad you pride yourself in your own knowledge and use of sarcasm. really. im proud. (note lame attempt at sarcasm...we can't all be "naturals")

3. i do, too...but not usually while i'm listening.

[TravlerBlue]

Both great pieces! We played greensleeves for our Christmas concert this year, one of the few songs(if not the only) that is a Christmas song with nothing to do with Christmas

[ReikoKyata]

Greensleeves was wonderful, but Scarborough Fair was transcendent... Such a beautiful piece, performed... With beauty!

[tmej]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful....



[therainofblood1]

THIS SONG IS GREAT! My mom sang it to me all the time, it was the only song that could calm me down, and now it's still at the tip top of my list of favorite songs.

[zara2255]

Very very beautiful ...thank you ! :)

[Frater666777]

The way they sang 'Scarborough Fair'.. OMG!!!! <3<3<3

[dmitryWeirdo]

fantastic

[DarkLadyJade]

This is pretty. ^_^

[MyMurphysLaw]

what the fudgybotoms are greensleeves?

[lxxChibixxl]

these are both my fav versions of these wonderful songs!!

[sw7ng]

Breathtaking!

i can listen to this all year long.

[filmetmusic]

Beautiful

[mujiel]

Two beautiful pieces! This style of choral siinging can be enjoyed universally by all peoples.

[Pflanzenkuschler]

Immortal clear voice !

[dpneff22395]

I LOVE ANUNA!

[unijade]

P.S: Scarborough Fair is beautiful! I was partly hoping for a duet, as the original Scarborough Fair was meant to be. Still, lovely rendition!

[unijade]

FINALLY! Michael sings one of my favourite classical songs! This was loooong awaited!!! Thankyou, Brezairola!

[ReenBlom]

Where was it filmed? Is it a studio or a church? cant make out... LOL Beautiful setting, beautiful singers, beautiful music!

[maplesonata]

@ReenBlom The Celtic Origins music special for PBS was filmed at Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio. They actually filmed three concerts at the church. One can buy the Celtic Origins DVD/CD on Anúna's website.

[ReenBlom]

@maplesonata Thanks for the the reply! I could not figure out whether it was real, or a well made studio set... LOL Looks breathtaking, wish I was there! Will def buy the DVD once I get a DVD-rom for my netbook...

[LindsayCurran]

Greensleeves! Superbly sung! Many thanks!

[maplesonata]

This is the most amazing music special I have ever seen! Beautiful, touching, spectacular.. Perfect!

[sancul8]

amazing!

Celtic soul here!

[brezairola]

Not really Celtic. The songs are both English, as are a number of the singers. The violinist is a Swedish speaking Finn and the orchestra are from the USA, Canada and Japan. Also the soloist is a classically trained singer, which is not a Celtic pursuit. For that matter, neither is choral singing : )

[Yosemite25]

@brezairola dude, who cares. it sounds great! I could care less who or where they come from. Whats your point?

[brezairola]

@Yosemite25 Yes - I agree with you - who cares about history and geography? Who cares about why the composer set the songs? Who cares about anything? Horray!

[mujiel]

@brezairola this music is fantastic but unfortunately not all listeners will appreciate the substance behind the songs.

[thespitfire86]

@brezairola Well we kinda care about the songs sounding good, but other than that, I'm pretty sure thats about the level of thought involved in listening to these fantastic songs. But seriously the harmony is amazing!

[thespitfire86]

[Yosemite25]

@brezairola very mature. I was writing about the guy who made a big deal if they wire Celtic or Scottish etc. Who cares....They sing great . Back to TMZ, loser............

[brezairola]

@Yosemite25 Ah - Ireland, Scotland, Celtland... all evocative, haunting and mysterious places in their own way. I am a bit surprised that you say how mature my comments are, as I thought they were quite offensive myself.

[Natakux2]

@brezairola *nods* Zug zug.

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

@brezairola I'm giggling because Yosemite obviously doesn't know who you are.

Interestingly, today I learned that most ice cream trucks here in Sydney play "Greensleeves."

[kelceejofarra]

@brezairola

I think that was his/her point. Posting offensive comments is a very childish and immature thing to do.

[brezairola]

@kelceejofarra Actually, posting offensive comments is not childish unless you are a child, and then posting any comments is childish, as are all things a child would do. Being immature is a state of mind, and at my age I take that as a compliment. Thank you!

[kelceejofarra]

@brezairola

No, being childish is a way of acting, like you are now.

[brezairola]

@kelceejofarra Thank you!



[jazzsingerlady]

@Yosemite25 Sir (or ma'am), I'm not sure if you're aware, but I believe you're speaking to the artist himself... or someone who works very closely with Anuna. Either way, I don't believe the term "loser" is at all appropriate.
