@MrThedark1 Thank you. Christmas Day just past was the first Christmas Day I did not sing the Mass in my Church. ...................I was snowed in. I really missed it as I love singing Christmas carols.
I picture Jesus sitting next to Mother Mary...holding her hands and they are both watching you with sheer admiration....tears flowing down Christ cheeks in appreciation of the heavenly voice signing praise to HIS mother....OUR mother...nice job....
Thank you, Maureen you have put feeling in your version! We were recently in Tralee and Killarney, but were unable to get any of your CDs. Any suggestions? Still it was grand be be back in our beautiful land.
Maureen: Thanks for this lovely rendition. I remember well how beautifully you sang "Danny Boy" (among other lovely songs) at St. Joseph's Cathedral in San Jose, California during the Derry Boys Choir concert there a few years back, and it is that memory which impelled the search today on Yahoo, leading to the Schubert on YouTube. Eureka! At rainbow's end in Derry there is Maureen Hegarty's golden sound, as lovely as ever.
Maureen, I have just laid my dad to rest, and tried to get you to do the funeral mass, wasn't to be (long tower) - i love how you sing ave maria, it brings me to tears...... your voice is just amazing.... i know my dad loved you too....
Lovely Maureen-This is one of my all time favourite pieces of music.I surfed the internet one night to see and if possible liten to who had recorded it-it was amazing,people like Sinatra,Mario Lanza,Elvis,Celine Dion,Connie Francis,the Cranberries and Pavarotti,Deanna Durbin are just a few of the names that spring to mind-yours is as beautiful a version as any.
Thank you. I uploaded this before I learned to make videos with Windows Movie Maker. I used my wee camera which picked up the sound from my CD player and had the camera sitting in front of a Christmas Card! I suppose it is not so bad considering.
Thank you. Glad to say I am still singing but BBC not doing so much with local artists now. Since I posted this video I have learned how to do a better job!!
I love this song!! I had it sung at my wedding many years ago! This is my favorite Hymn! You did this song justice!!! I favorited it and gave you 5 stars!!! Great! Thanks for sharing!!
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Your voice is extraordinary!!!
