  • I got the part of Hodel =)

  • This is the song I'm working on with my voice teacher! :)

  • This is kinda dumb, because it's not from the movie, it's just a dumb picture.

  • @bearo657 It's a beautiful picture, a very very beautiful picture.

  • Tried out for Tevye... Got the part :)

  • *sniff*

  • I wanted to be Hodel so bad in my school play D: I turned out to be an extra because of my sprained ankle during auditions =/

  • @britty1998 ohh bless one day hey

  • Heartbreaking....

  • i'm singing this song in my singing exam. i just love this song :D

  • This song can still make me cry after all these years

  • Yay

    (: We are doing Fiddler on the Roof and I got the role I wanted: HODEL! :D

  • @MTSBLovin Break a leg! My school decided to do Music Man instead of this :(

  • @MTSBLovin miracle of miracles! good luck, I always loved this show.

  • Papa, God alone knows when we shal see each other again

    Then we will leave it in his hands

  • @peacedreamer88 I am so glad I'm not the only one who adore those lines... simply just the respect in them saying that... I can't describe it.

  • @Invadurr yes the trust they put in him even whent hey know they might not ever see each other ever again

  • Just had the pleasure of watching my 13-year-old granddaughter play Hodel in a production at Willowbrook Arts Camp, Tualatin, Oregon. It was a magic moment... Is this the little girl born from the little girl I carried? Thanks to all for making this production very memorable for a grandmother. My grandfather and my husband's father were both Jews who were driven out of Russia in the early 1900s. Luckily, both of them made their way to America to continue our lineage.

  • @EllenKimball They're doing this at Willowbrook too? I'm doing it at the Broadway Rose in Tigard. : ) Small world

  • Today i have an addition for this play!!!! I am sooooo NERVES!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish me luck!

  • Beautiful song, sung beautifully!

  • i want this part in the schools musical so bad i hope i do wish me luck

  • @avrillover712 good luck

    

  • @avrillover712 I hope I get this part too in my play i am doing...LOL! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

  • My middle school did this musicull! I loved this song so much!!!! My friend did a good job singing this!!!

  • Oh, man, this scene always makes me bawl. :~)

  • I really hope that the four people who disliked this song hands slipped so that they accidentally hit the "dislike" button.

  • Does anyone know what key this is in?

  • @londonbridgette its in the key of E Flat.

  • This has always been my favorite song from Fiddler - it is so beautiful, it makes me cry each time...

  • omg my friend megan did this song and she sounds so good! i love this song, its so pretty. i kinda like megans version better tho, cuz her voice is kinda deeper and its got a bit of a sadder feeling whereas this one is kinda bright and happy. i was just a villager in my schools performance...i just got home from our second.

  • @ShinepawsWinter008 I think this song should be at least a little happy and not completely sad. She's leaving the home she loves for the man she loves. It's bittersweet.

  • I am singing this song for solo fest on Friday!!! I'm so nervous

  • What a stellar song... I choke-up every time I hear/sing this beautiful song... I know that in the next month I am going to have to actually sing this song to MY parents about my fiancée... Gonna be a challenge, but I know it will help them know that it is time for me to go far from the home I love...

  • My best friend plays Hodel, she sand the song for the first time yesterday, it was amazing! I am Yente in the play, such a fun, vibrant character.

  • I'm in the pit band of my school's production of this musical. This is my favorite song to play! :D

  • My high school band is playing an arrangement of this for our next concert, and I just LOVE it so much. it's such a beautiful, emotional song.

  • Every time I get to this part in the story, I cry through the entire song. It's so gorgeous and touching.... *mops eyes and nose*

  • @MewxRetasu

    You and others may appreciate this story. Several years ago I was a special consultant to a production of Fiddler at a rural high school. The most experienced actor on stage was the girl playing Hodel. The first dress rehearsal, with the orchestra, was also the first real run-through without stopping. Everything went fine until the railway scene. Hodel started her song, Far From the Home I I Love, as she had done at many rehearsals. Suddenly she started sobbing. (cont'd)

  • @MewxRetasu

    (cont'd) In between sobs she apologized, saying this had never happened to her before in her many appearances in musicals. The director reassured her, pointing out that she was really identifying with the show and the character of Hodel. She regained her composure and finished the song. I attended the opening night performance. At the end of the show a sea of white handkerchiefs and tissues became visible, followed by a long, standing ovation.

  • I'm doing this song for nyssma i really like it

  • Im playing Hodel in my secondary school production,.. Its so excited, i didn't think I would get a big part, cause usually the GSCE drama students do, cause Im only in year8 :) Cant Wait! Beautiful song!!

  • My mother left her homeland at 20 when she married my dad in America in 1970. She is from New Zealand, so you can imagine how far she traveled. The next time she returned was when her mother died in 1997. She has not been back since

  • @TwilightL0va same and tzidel

  • @TwilightL0va How was your performance?=) Hope it was great!

  • I felt this way when I had to leave home. Only instead of a man, it was the military. I remember my father asking me why I had to go and leave the home I loved. This song always reminds me of that time.

  • i wanna audition for Golde in our theatres production of fiddler.. but her voice is alto and i'm a mezzo soprano. any good large parts with mezzo soprano???? i'd LOVE to know because i have to audition with this song as one of my pieces.

  • Any advice when singning this song?

  • I'm trying out for this part in January... Does anyone know of a musical song that would be great to use for the audition?

  • @Emelsu1993

    and i sang matchmaker.

    its very simple and fun to sing

    i made call backs with the song :)

    good luck!

  • @meals135 Hm, I'm an alto, so her voice would be perfect for me. But I know one of my friends is Mezzo and she tried out with "Sally's Song," from Nightmare Before Christmas. Maybe start there?

  • I played tzietel in this play
