Eric Whitacre conducts THE SEAL LULLABY (Junges Vokalensemble Hannover)

[YukiKarasuAkuma]

I like how a bunch of directors commented on this video. I sung this with my choir a while back and I still love it! I don't know if we sounded this beautiful though. We sung it slower which added more dramatic effect.

My School is preforming this song for a concert on Monday I believe, TCNJ's chorale will also be preforming at my school that night, but after listening to this I had tears going down my cheeks. This piece is just so beautiful! :')

[MidnightWoffie]

Can't wait to perform this at Carnegie Hall with the mass choir.

[runaholic547]

Gotta love those deep voices! (; My choir will be performing this song for Contest in the spring.

So excited!!

[sophie1454]

[LuckyIbiza]

[yootubeloobe]

Germans. <333

[bigapple0007]

the song made me feel warm in cold and darkness

[shwertmorder]

can you believe pixar decided against making a movie based on this poem/song in favor of KUNG FOO PANDA???

[ElTGV]

@shwertmorder Yes, I can. This is the musical equivalent of a pancake with sugar, syrup, honey and fifteen artificial sweeteners topped off with cream. And Pixar didn't make Kung Fu Panda.

[amandagleo]

This.

[SourceTwo]

Das ist soooo schön! Kann gar nicht mehr aufhören, es zu hören! Bravo! :-)

[silvercrew1]

There is a reason there is no dislikes for this video, sang this in high school, one of my favorites by my favorite composer

[Deuterom]

Though poetry is the music of words, I admit that I could read Mr Kipling's verses and never truly see its full beauty. But, Oh My Lord, put to Mr Whitacre's incredible musical creation …it reaches into my soul and I am moved to tears.

To me, this piece stands as evidence that the human voice is the most glorious of musical instruments. Breathtakingly beautiful …Amazing!

[JWFTW69]

0 dislikes. Can we please try to keep it that way?

[bf2films]

@JWFTW69 somebody had to go and ruin it eventually... there's 2 dislikes.

[birdinator2]

Let us enjoy this song, and not gawk at the women. Please, enjoy this incredible music

[ifritzling]

I just preformed this!! Simply Incredible!!!!

[TolkienRoman]

Their accent makes 1:25 so beautiful!!! The onomatopoeia of "rustle" works so much better than in our American choirs! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I could listen to this performance all day...

[kewelime]

So beautiful. <3

[Rct3Renaissance]

girl at 0:22 Is smokin' hotte! xD



[abink10]

such a great piece. All his music... the beauty of it allows one to reflect in such a way as to as to really know the greatness of music :)

[TuesdayWells27]

Absolutely STUNNING performance....

[FretboardToAsh]

They're too much out of tune, too often, it feels unstable. Though I would appreciate if the person dying at 1:30 would do it a bit more quietly.

[BellaSeasons]

I'm doing this song in my school choir and I'm so excited! The first time I heard a recording of it made me want to cry it's so beautiful :)

[jmodyrts25]

1:33 SKULLET!!! LOL

[Randomwiz3412]

this song is so beautiful!! im in love

[bubbaG42]

someone needs to shoot the guy who coughed at 1:30

and i think its funny how he keeps gesturing for the choir to shush a little

[bubbaG42]

I would give up or pay anything to have been in that choir!

[EskimoAbby]

Eric Whitacre makes my heart melt... I love this piece :)

[NashLovesTea]

We are singing this in my music class, and I fell in love with it as soon as she played it to us :)

[enilegnave21]

Like all of Eric's works, this just steals your breath away and transports you elsewhere! An excellent job by this choir.

[Rin199408]

ABSOLUTLY FANTISTIC! Best one I have heard =)

[Rin199408]

I go to blake high school and im a sophmore. Im in chours and im a 1st suprano and may i say you all did a magnificent job! Absolutly BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! Wonderful with dynamics and very very amazing tall vowels. This is a beautiful singing choir and I hope i can sound this amazing someday I use this video to practice this song. The tone is perfect and you all blend very well together. Awesome job ^_^ And for the conductor you did amazing with timeing of movement to direct them with dynamics. =D

[Breipiepe]

[fgbowen]

I love this piece.

I love that the piano takes the final melody cadence.

[liveMusicGmbH]

wunderschön!!



[bryan3550]

Beautifully warm sound!

[moomintroll1963]

lovely performance

[RonaldJenkeesFAN63]

the blonde woman at 2:53 is breathtakingly gorgeous!

[enilegnave21]

@RonaldJenkeesFAN63 Interesting how tastes go... and perhaps because I'm a woman, but that blondish gal at 2:53 reminds me of Denise Richards and I did not find her as appealing as the brunette in front of her :-D

[GiancarloXmusic]

@enilegnave21 actually, I'd have to say she looks like a blonde Olga Kurylenko! haha

[born2broadway]

@RonaldJenkeesFAN63 youre horny, shes alright. haha

[400adub]

@RonaldJenkeesFAN63 so is the woman at 0:55

[littlebirdmjfan]

Love how you can see Eric lip-syncing along... beautiful... :)
