Choirboy William Dutton: The Lord's My Shepherd

[Crisfalco100]

beautiful! It sounds like little angels singing.

[elderwand08]

I know the girl, shes in many of my classes at university.....she has a fantastic voice.

[maskowitch]

SUCH a beautiful piece, and accomplished singers too, but I'm bothered by their accent and I must say, this song is SOO much more beautiful in a mixed choir with clean sopranos, altos and a nice bass to go with it... this video is not fair to the piece or to Bob Chilcott (who is sadly underrepresented on youtube...)

[Stormonnormon]

why do girls choirs and choristers have such harsh voices

[17november95]

mixing a male suprano and a female suprano together.... and if there not supranos there very close to it.... creates a great castrado effect i like it alot!

[murbuzz]

such lipsyncing. You can't beat it! When William is singing/ahhing beautifully at the same time, you can tell something is up when he pauses at 1:15

[stad97]

william's voice is sort of drowned out by the ladies voice. boys' and girls' voices are normally weaker than ladies' and mens' voices. bit odd that they'd do that, because you can't really hear william that much.

still, it's a very nice video.

i went to school at belmont grovener with both of them

[chorister51]

You raise me up is about God. I don't think William is holding anything in his hand.

[znq119]

but why william's right hand is holding?

and the song you raise me up.I don't think it is about God,why he sings it in a church?

[chorister51]

Lead choristers wear them.

[Rosiemoore]

Yes they are awards from the Royal College of Church Music, there's different colour ribbons for diff levels ;)

[studentinberlin]

why they have medals on?

[brassspitoon]

Although I have visited, as a tourist, many English Cathedrals and abbeys, I'm drawing a blank on the location. Help me out, mates. Identify, please.

[xxPiriPirixx]

It's not a Cathedral or an Abbey, just a humble parish church XD its called st wilfrid's (sp?) and its in Harrogate. It was only built about 100 years ago.

[17november95]

how old is william

[smog718]

I don't like mixing girls and boys voices. Not sexist, I just don't like the sound.

[wickedgal27]

i think emma has a beautiful voice

[jennywren413]

Emma's voice isn't bad at all (a bit heavy for me...), but William's is so much better- yet I don't know if this song does either one justice.

[haja0815]

hmm this seems to be THE church for most classical vids...

[d2shadow243]

nice duet

[sarahnlaura1993]

emma whiteley is my sister

[EmergencyMan207]
