Morris Robinson - Going home - Hour of Power

[libby7356]

I do not think that the "Good Lord" would want me, I have strayed so many times,

I know the "Good Lord" forgives, but how many times does he forgive?

August 6th 2011

Conducted by Marc Riley

[sobefobik]

Isn't this the same tune as Dvorak's Largo in "The New World?" If so, which came first?

[Aleksei5]

@sobefobik

Yes it is - Dvorak composed this tune initially and it was adopted as a piece for voice in the early 20th century.

[gospelFAN1000]

Beautiful!

[revbores]

great sound!

[eb12m]

I don't know what to think about his resonance. The harmonics I hear are those of perfect placement, but the tone is quite unique. It's a strangely attractive instrument.

[LindaxDreamer]

does anyone have this song on his computer?

I really need it, for a funeral.

please help me if you can

[796824]

Tone is covered and in the back of his throat. If this fine gentleman were taught how to project the tone, he would be outstanding because of his natural instrument. He should listen to Mark Reizen, Andresen, and Pinza

[796824]

The greatest artists, Velasquez and Rembrandt, were noted for their religious works, They did not require "vocal" soul since their reverence was obvious. Listen to RICHARD CROOKS on YOU TUBE sing THE HOLY CITY. THAT is a LESSON that "NO VOICE (?) TEACHER" TODAY can duplicate. Degrees mean nothing

[bonnies1234567]

Dear 796824, As I listened to Richard Crooks I could "see" the story unfold as he interpreted it. That, I believe, is what an artist hopes to accomplish--to make his song real. Thank you. I appreciate that we can communicate on YouTube.

[soren476]

HA! you have absolutely Nesuun idea! I've seen Morris live, and with Deborah Voigt to boot, and he projected more and resonates more than any singer I've ever heard live. It was truly INSANE!!!

[mm9913]

Just so happens he is the most heralded operatic bass in the last 5 years, check out his King in Aida, great acclaim including his Met debut. You missed the mark with your assessment of this one.

[renragkrik]

@796824 The people who posted above me are correct; I heard Mr. Robinson sing Fasolt at LA Opera, and his projection was phenomenal. As an audio engineer, it would be my guess that his proximity to the microphone in this recording is making his voice sound more "covered" than it actually is. The darkness of his tone is very natural and rich in person.

[bonnies1234567]

This is the best interpretation, I believe, of this song. It belongs to him. I love to listen to it each evening. Thank you.

[jaydabaron]

boy that lad has a voice and he sings it brilliantly !! love it

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

Wagner wrote Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) for this voice.

[truckstar42]

this song has taken me throu a dificult time thanks for this

and may god bless you

[operadawg]

Great voice, but much of the tone is swallowed in the upper register. And the opening sounds like R&B. Stick to your operatic technique, Morris. You don't need to apologize for being blessed with such a voice!

[tonyjay]

I can't believe that pastor called them "negro spirituals." I believe that they are referred to as simply spirituals now.

[njtenor57]

love this piece!!!! thank you and may GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

[opn4bzns]

This song speaks to every Christians heart, the truth and fact that we will be in Heaven one day,if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into your heart you will be saved. There is no better life than to have the true God as your loving Father. Thank you Morris for your wonderful song.

[MrHappiness777]

@opn4bzns its more than just him coming into your heart... he's been asking you, you just have to say yes

[ricaustin]

EXCEPTIONAL  WONDERFUL VOICE

[ILoveJezusChrist]

English is not my native language, so if you find a mistake in the lyrics: please let me know.

Thanks, and I hope you will enjoy this beautiful song !
