OLD NEW ENGLAND CHRISTMAS CAROL:"O SIGHT OF ANGUISH"

[blueridger28]

Love this. Tim You one cool dude

[theeasybeats]

love it, love it, love it!!!!

[Conail23]

now that is a tribute to the birth of Jesus, much better than a worship team singing some follow the bouncing ball song! lol

[kesmarn]

Just wonderful! I was recently reading up a bit on Occum, who was a remarkable man. ..but apparently ruthlessly exploited on a fund-raising tour of England, during which we was presented as a type of "Noble Savage." Quite insulting to this well-educated person. He futilely protested the way the funds were (mis)used when they arrived back here. He had really hoped to benefit Native Americans more, and the sons of the wealthy...not so much.

Lyrics, stunning.

Did I mention that you are a genius?

[LostintheHoller]

I really like the version on your cd, but it sounds really damn good with the accompaniment, and your voice is really clear here.

[batfancy]

I think I sang it in C here, but you can just put it wherever's comfortable for you. I stuck some verses up in the description for you (there are several more verses, but I think these are best..)

[batfancy]

Hey- I think the best way to learn it is by ear. I do have some extra verses (though less singable in my opinion) and somewhere I have a transcription of the music in the 1803 American Musical Miscellany, but it's kind of clunky. Let me know if a transcription of words or music is useful and I'll get it to you somehow...

[elultimohombrelibre]

Wow!! Thank you Tim, your music is my inspiration.

[inatangle]

Love this--the tune is so delicate, just so incredible. I want to learn to sing it (but it seems very hard!)

[batfancy]

Nah, you can sing it. "Ecoutee et repetee." beep. I've got music too, from a magazine published in Northampton ca. 1803- let me know if you want it...

[trippyguitar]

beautifull, really like the song.

[granniejans]

How Beautiful

[Linuxica]

thanks for the video response!

I love the carol it's a great one, and you singing is amazing!

[WheelofTime]

Wonderful. I have never heard this song... its beautiful... Thank you Tim for adding this, its great!

[batfancy]

I don't think anyone else sings it- it would be great if they did, although it's not the easiest sing along tune. Glad you like it...

[Linuxica]

Great!
