Weep You No More Sad Fountains - Patrick Doyle

[bdswagger]

Very nicely done. The lyrics are by the 16th cent. English tropadour and composer John Dowland, though the music is different.

[babywabyabc]

This is so beautiful! I watched the film for the first time last summer (when the world cup was on :-p) and fell in love with it. I had incredibly difficult exams and this gave me a bit of escapism and a much needed revision break! It has now overtaken Pride and Prejudice and Emma as my favourite Jane Austen novel.

[grobiegirl12]

i wish there was a version of Kate singing the whole thing :(

[AMY1213141]

She has a beautiful voice but I prefer Kate Winslet's version

[Olaunis]

I loved this scene so much! Brandon fell in love at the same time with Marianne and her voice.

I also liked the moment inmediately after that scene. That glimpse of the solitary melancholic figure of the English countryside gentleman, acompanied by the dog. Almost like a painting from sir Joshua Reynolds or someone similar... Its suits so well with the music then...

I already loved Doyle´s work in "The little princess", so it has been a nice surprise discovering he composed the score for S&S

[Estokur]

This version is more academic...It's gorgeous, but You can't imagine an ordinary teen girl, singing like this. Kate's version is more..'homey'..Charming and sweet..)

[ViergeVraie]

Me likey this version

[frankie1906]

Im addicted to this song

[Jemimia]

I actually much prefer Kate's version.

[smileyorb]

*sighs* *^_^*

MY TIME

[BubblegumPopMusic13]

@LunaGirl2001 ive tried to find the kate winslet version, but i can never find it anywhere, i wish i could she sang it so beautifully, not that the girl on this version is bad shes so much better than jane eaglen, but kate just has an innocent unstudied sound, but i dont think the kate version is available anywhere

[hbanana7]

@BubblegumPopMusic13 yeah, I did the same thing. I wanted a recording of Kate Winslet's version. ;_;

[mcataa]

Beautiful

[Silthrith]

Weep no more? How can the lady ask that?! It's such a sad piece; that would be so insensitive

Timeless . . .

[larkinthesky]

I am a contra-alto and I always get so jealous of the people who can reach such highnotes with such brilliance. It is utterly and completely beyond my abilities.

[Phersephoie]

@larkinthesky then again you can reach low notes that no soprano can ;)

[pianomags]

@larkinthesky Oh dear. It's about the length of your vocal folds hon. It's CRAZY to be jealous of someone's vocal register, CRAZY. A bit like wanting their hand shape or parents.If you really are a true contralto, you are an incredibly rare bird indeed and will never be short of work, unlike many excellent sops. Be in awe of their abilities just as much as your own, eh? People like Bach, Handel et al wrote for every single voice type with equal passion. For a reason! Cherish your gift.

[LunaGirl2001]

Is there any way to get the version sung by Kate Winslet?

[SingingFucker]

For the character of this song I prefer Kates voice. Its so soft! But thins singer has an amazing voice.

[Snezhinka9]

I love this version more, because I just love the singer (Jane Eaglen?)...But I like Kate's too, and I think they should include both versions in the CD. When I bought a soundtrack for the movie 'Aurore', they also recorded it with a professional voice, and in that case, I loved the 'unprofessional' movie version more...I think they should always include both versions when possible.

[AerisStrife78]

LA meraviglia di questa canzone non trova parole per essere descritta..è perfetta per rispecchiare il film...e di conseguenza il mondo della cara Jane Austen!

[SingingFucker]

This woman has a wonderful beautiful voice, but I love the softness and pureness with wich Kate sings this.

[Ariana97899]

This is Jane Eaglen's version of this song. Eaglen is a performing, trained opera artist, and Kate Winslet is an actress who can sing. (No offense, I love Kate). This version is on the soundtrack to Sense and Sensibility. While this song is performed lovely, Kate Winslet's version is beautiful as well.

[ultimavara]

Hmm, I own the soundtrack and this version isn't on there. Was there a re-release of the album at some point? I bought mine back in '95 or '96.

[choirgeek11]

@ultimavara I agree.. This isn't the version on my CD either.

[booklover181]

@Ariana97899 This is not Jane Eaglen singing, and it is not the version on the Sense and Sensibility soundtrack CD. This version is from a CD called Cinema Choral Classics II, sung by an unknown singer.

[ultimavara]

Thank you for sharing this. I like this so much better than Jane Eaglen's rendition. Patrick Doyle wrote in the S&S soundtrack liner notes that the song was supposed to represent Marianne's youthful innocence at the start of the movie, and Eaglen's voice never communicated that to me. She sounded way too mature and over-the-top, IMO. This singer's voice is much more clear and youthful. I wish either this or Kate Winslet's version had been on the soundtrack. Thanks again for sharing!

[spoliah]

Love this movie, wish I could download onto my PC

[klickenpod]

GLORIOUS! I prefer her to Jane Eaglen.. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a coloratura soprano looking to hear someone with at least a lyrical ability sing it... haha, I'm excited! Beautiful, thank you for posting!

[McManatee]

I prefer Jane also. There is more maturity in her voice. But this version is stunning as well :)

[myh3artb3ats]

this is sooo beautiful

[PhanPhoreverever]

Who sings this?

[stillphil]

JANE EAGLEN's version is MUCH more passionate.

[streepilicious]

Wonderful... It's not Kate Winslet but i like it !!!!!!

[t3nn1sfreak]

kate winslet cant sing that high...but i like her version better :DD

[clazza01]

Verse 2

Sleep is a reconciling,

A rest that Peace begets.

Doth no the sun rise smiling

When fair at e'en he sets

Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,

Melt not in weeping

While she lies sleeping,

Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.

[JBloveDK]

thank you so much! :)

[clazza01]

VERSE 1

[clazza01]

emma thompson and kate winslett are such natural beauties on the cover of the cd and of course in reality

[bmsaangel16]

Kate's voice isnt this high

[anitsircbcn]

Beautiful....

[jmanaz88]

this song is adorable the way it's sung is great (boths this and Kate's way) but I fear it has not been written by P. Doyle.. but by John Dowland.. a musician of the late elizabethan period..

[mydarcydarling]

No fear, the music by John Dowland is different. The lyrics are the same, but they are of an unknown author.

[Theverybestofopera]

Lyrics please!

[crladvl]

I like this song, but I like Kate Winslet's version of it better.

[iweasley]

THIS is Kate Winslet's version. Listen to her voice and compare it to the one in the film. 'The other' version is that of Jane Eaglen, it's the one on the original soundtrack's CDs and the voice is very different.

[kireikeikoo]

i think crladvl meant Kate's version as in kate's voice singing it...? not sure though =)

[dorrylady]

Actually Kate Winslet's version has a slight difference.

[t6adams]

this is a beautiful song!!!!!

[levanyzzuf]

Patrick Doyle is a MONSTER!!!! This and "A Little Princess" in the same year!

[LotteCM]

Was the music for 'A Little Princess' also done by him???

[levanyzzuf]

Indeed it was. One of my favorite film scores. I remember this one being quite remarkable as well but I haven't heard it in its entirety since I last saw the film.

[athenalamagifique]

c est d une pureté tellement magnifique

[andrea2700]

I love this song!It makes me smile :)

[daydreamerisme]

soo beautifull, i always close my eyes and envision soft snowy scenery with a romantic couple in the midst of heavy snow falling around them <3 with this song.. that was really descriptive lol

[ForksWA98331]

lol but true! (:

[yorouichi17]

it's incredible beautiful

[audreyanne08]

Thank you so so much for posting this!

[CressFerriera]

We're doing this in my choir and it's different...o.O

[Loverrine]

ilovethissongilovethissongilov­ethissong:D:D

[mensahcarrelle]

fabulous song for one of the best movies ever!!!

ps:kate winslet should have won the oscar for her incredible performance.

[fri8025]

exactly...best movie ever! :)

[mensahcarrelle]

Yeah,amen!!!I've watched this movie for the first time when i was 12 and i remember being very moved by it.Besides,Kate Winslet was(and still is) one of my favourite actresses (the TITANIC effect) and i became also a huge fan of Emma Thompson after that.

[fri8025]

When I watched this movie I felt totally moved too. Non other movie before had had such an effect on me. Everything is perfect, the characters, the story, the music...I just can't get enough of it! ANd ...totally agree about Kate Winslet, she is such a great actress :)

[mensahcarrelle]

Glad to see you have great tastes :-)

[booklover181]

This is not Jane Eaglen singing.

[audrance]

who is it then?

Jane eaglen recorded this soundtrack

[booklover181]

This recording is not from the S&S soundtrack. It is from the CD "Cinema Choral Classics II" and is NOT sung by Jane Eaglen.

[18scene]

does anyone know where I can get a version of Kate winslet singing it?

[oldiXD]

[18scene]

[oldiXD]

[PhantomCake]

'my father's favorite' is a beautiful peice!

[msfrankie]

there's also a book with just "The Dreame" and "Weep You No More."

[sagesse777]

Jane Austen's World, Amazon...Thank you so much Frankie, enjoy your day!

[sagesse777]

This version is beautiful, but I would like to find the same version than that we hear in the movie...same adaptation for piano and same kind of singing...Does anyone know if such a version exist? oo

[msfrankie]

it does. there's actually a Jane Austen songbook with that sheet music in it. my friend has it and I borrowed it once. It's a great collection from all the movies.

[sagesse777]

Great! I'm going to look for it...I love all the Jane Austen songs, aspecially from the BBC movies they are the best ^^)Thank you so much!

[msfrankie]

No problem! It's called 'Jane Austen's World' btw. I found it on Amazon :)

[mensahcarrelle]

goes straight to my heart.beautiful!

[babooandtachoo]

Absolutley wonderful :)

[samutube71]

i love kate winslet's version better

[Westlifefan1]

Does anyone know where i can get this??? Its such a lovely song!

[ThePiano1991]

You could find the soundtrack on amazon or something! Or use limewire or something like that!

[ammoony]

I got it from itunes ..

[Tushka666]

yes it's on the album of the soundtrack from the film, any good record store can order it for you if they haven't got it in stock.... i have it at home, it's heaven isn't it just like the film?

[TILLY18POO]

does anyone knows who is singing this?

[iweasley]

Kate Winslet herself, I believe. :-)

[sarahpearl87]

does anyone know why sings this arrangement? She has a beautiful voice and I'd like to get this particular track..thanks

[Gassi88]

Does anybody have the lyrics of this great song? I´ll try to make a punk version of it.

[guitargoddess21]

Weep you no more, sad fountains;

What need you flow so fast?

Look how the snowy mountains

Heav'n's sun doth gently waste.

But my sun's heav'nly eyes

View not your weeping

That now lies sleeping,

Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.

[Gassi88]

Thanks.

After "I was born to maky you happy" of Shitney Tears another song that´ll be "punkalized"....

[sarahmarie246]

i love the original version, but punckalized sounds cool

[JoRowlingRocks]

I was at the Patrick Doyle concert too, it was amazing =) I'm glad they did this piece, I love it!

I recorded the two Harry Potter tracks on my MP3 player =P

[ThePiano1991]

Nocturon:

Alan Rickman was there but not Emma Watson. Other Stars from Harry Potter were Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane, Imelda Staunton and Kenneth Brannagh! It was a really cool night! I did try and record some of it on my phone but It didnt work very well :( Do you like Patrick Doyles music?

[nocturon]

Oh, I adore Patrick Doyle! I'm fascinated in the things that are characteristic to him - the wind instruments, the long notes, the overall softness in his pieces...

I mixed up two Emmas. It was Emma Thompson who was at the concert, of course.

[ThePiano1991]

They played this at the Patrick Doyle charity concert on the 28th October, I love it so much!

[nocturon]

You were there? Oh, I had wished so much for being able to see the concert. Alan Rickman and Emma Watson were there, am I right. Not to mention other stars as well.
