Look at Presentation Choir Kilkenny singing it - the diction and overall tone is better although some of the moves are kinda stolen from this...not as shouty!
Wow, this is terrible. WTF is this? The pronunciation is bizarre and way too aggressive, and for what purpose? They sound more like they're yelling than singing. And what's up with the movements? They make no sense. Terrible.
this is WAY too aggressive. Sounds like they are shouting german. too much pronunciation of the letters. it's not even a real language, they didn't need to put so much emphasis on the Hs and Ws.
@1gamoguy and by that i mean its not flowing and seamless it is to choppy and sounds like they are pushing to hit the vocals, which may be outside of their vocal range, the original version is almost angelic and seamless, this in a way to me has a opera kind of sound with male vocals at times drowining out the female vocals at points where it should only be the females vocals being heard, iam not a vocal couch just love music and this particular song, they should have picked a different song
Hi, I am the condutcor of the Sunbury Divas/Sons of Sunbury choir that competed with you guys at the World Choir Games.
You guys are so great - I could listen to you all day! And yes, this interpretation is splendid - just the right mix of consonants with resonance on vowels. Marvellous. And yes, the solo should have a certain 'yell' to it. In this case, the yell is beautifully supported, so great job!
they're not good...they're screaming. ha ha and putting such a heavy 'h' sound at the beginning of the phrases is such bad technique, it's not stylistically correct...
@singactplay123 When are they screaming, because I must have missed it? And I'd rather have the heavy "h" and absolutely perfect diction than to hear nothing but a load of mumbling. You have to remember that this is a school choir with no professional training at all. This is a song that many adult choirs would fail at and these guys sang it beautifully.
@RyanD1862 Karl Jenkins music has South African styles...south african music is much more choral based, east and west african yes, there is often times more shouting because of the need to sing over multiple percussion instruments. think of it in terms of The Lion King. Lebo M, a south african native wrote most of the music for the Lion King movies and musical. there's no shouting in that music. if you listen to He Lives in You from "Simba's Pride" that's Lebo M singing, no shouting there.
@snorgrotta It was always going to be a fight between them and Only men aloud. Personally I think these guys were better technically (O Fortuna sung by a school choir - epic!) but the Cardiff lot were better performers (Don't rain on my parade just one example). However, I found Glanaethwy more consistant on their singing and think they should have won.
You're right though, the public shouldn't have got a vote in this competition.
Wow. For young people, this choir has some of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. As a group, the vocalizing is a bit harsh for my taste. But I think they were just doing their own unique interpretation of the piece. Awesome.
There's nothing better than hearing this song being sung live by a choir :) I was at the Eisteddfod in Bala a few days ago and passed by the pavillion and heard this song being sung and I just wished I was inside!! :(
The Language itself goes back 350years, and its the same language as Enya sings in, hence Enya also covered and made her own "version" of this great song!
So its wrong what ur saying that its somehow "self-invented", i beg ur please that i cant name the language myself, because it slipped out of my head while writing this Wall-O-Text!
But just check any google site for Enyas Song Language ! =)
Not just vowels. Whole syllables, with lots of consonants thrown in for definition. The opening "word", adiemus, is a Latin word for "We will come together" (colloquially), but Jenkins says he didn't know that until after he'd released the work; he uses voices as musical instruments.
BTW, Jenkins is Welsh, so there certainly is Celtic influences in his music. This particular piece has African rhythm and drums, but it's roots aren't there.
They sound good but i have to agree with some of the reactions i have seen. This is not a great rendition. Sounds a little more like Last Choir Shouting than Last Choir Standing. Also the comment about dynamics i agree with. They just didn't connect somehow. That's my opinion, i don't expect everyone to agree with it but please respect it.
I wasn't being mean! I just thought they were rubbish and the other choirs were way better! ACM or Revalation shud have won! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
but there's something wrong...i dont think they're blending well. They're not listening to each other enough, so it sounds like many individual parts combined.
We sung this in Italy a couple of months ago, this lot are excellent, it sounds brilliant wherever, Dwi'n Cymraeg a dwi'n llawn balchder of fod yn Gymraeg!
It is so hard to create that amount of sound when your stood that far apart from each other... let alone stading that far apart AND being separated from your sections! You did it awesomly!
And i know how hard the alto part is... well the bottom F... its so hard to get a big crescendo through that note so whooo go altos!
theres no neeed for all this i mean there talented kids but so are the other choirs obv us welsh r going to be very proud to see them there representing wales as im sure the english are of thier choirs.
reading down ppl saying about the song can i just say its all made up words in this song and originally written for sweedish/finish/norweigan voices and shud have almost a nasal quality about it
ysgol glanaethwy did awesum with this dont belittle their acheivements
Jesus Christ, Welsh nationalism doesn't ever get old does it. Frankly I am disgusted with some of the comments I have seen on these videos from Welsh people attacking the English, are we that insecure? And before you call me a 'Sais Uffar', I am Welsh.

ser2129 - It's not necessary for ANYONE to be disrespectful in ANY way and please do tar all 'nationalists' with the same brush. I believe the 'foolishness' on this thread was instigated and perpetuated by 2 young people from both countries, which was totally uncalled for. Please see my previous post.
YGA - you performed brilliantly last night - so take heart and onwards and upwards from now on and thank you for giving us so much pleasure. xx
Haha, I was freaked out when they started singing this.. 'cause a few minutes before I'd been talking to my sister and I was like 'They should sing an Enya song!' and I'd been humming Adiemus all day :P
This made me love them even more, 'cause it's such a brilliant song and they sang it amazingly :D
I hope they win.. they've definately been the most consistent.
And what on earth is everyone arguing for? Who cares what 'English' people call them? At least they're supporting them!
Don't make a fool of yourselves English people, DON'T call them 'Ysgol'. That, in Welsh, means 'School' ... call them Glanaethwy, cause it has no translation, and it makes sense in Welsh. haha. lol
Cos atm, you are all there shouting 'Go Ysgol!' meaning 'Go School!' instead of 'Go Glanaethwy' .. which means the same in both languages as it has no translation. Stupid idiots, but you weren't to know. =P
haha wotefyr nick clapton, obviously you do or you wouldn't have bothered to write that comment! idwal! .. ti myn dalld hyn beth bynnag so dwi myn gwbo pam dwi'n sgwennu hyn. lol a dydw i ddim yn bod yn 'disrespectful', dwi'n trio helpu nw i ddalld dipin o'n iaith ni, a wedyn ma'r ffocin Sais yn llichio fo nol i fy ngwynab i!
don't kid your self either NICKCLAPTON,we don't give a shit about your language either. i mean, at least we can talk about you behind your back. chwerthin allan yn uchal!
no offence meant here but if english ppl are shouting anything in support surely we should take that gracefully so what if they don't know "ysgol" is school in welsh at least they are supporting ysgol glanaethwy and to be honest thats all that matters!!!!
yes i know that, and very thankful for that, but i thought i'd better tell you, so you could know abit about the welsh language, and then an english idiot comes and says he doesn't give a shit! if he didn't give a shit he shouldn't have commented on it should he!
Llinos Heledd. Glanaethwy will will only if they get votes from across the UK. Showing such a disdainful and disrespectful will only cause offense and could potentially cost Glanaethwy votes. I found it mildly amsuing that Ysgol Glanaethwy was being shortened to ysgol - but that's all. Do you know the meaning of every English word? Or even, come to that, every Welsh word? Bydd dy agwedd anghwrtais yn gostus ac os llwyddi di i droi'r Saeson yn erbyn Glanaethwy, bydd yn gostus iawn iddyn nhw.
They're my favourite choir on the show but I do know that Only Men Aloud are better really...... And AMC. But their members are older. I just love the number of boys this choir has.
I personally think that their pronunciations were to harsh, and I wasnt a fan of the breathy noises at the begining of the lines. Its good, but i have heard better versions
Give them a break with your "knowledge" of this song...!!!
Everyone has the right to and opinion and i'm fully aware of that- but they did a damn good job... you can clearly see that the pupils are like 14-18year old... give them RESPECT for effort....!!!!!!!!!!!!
really like them, however, the md on the show let them down. he does not like the remotest bit of critism, which can be healthy. for the group dynamics alone i will not vote for them. it is called last choir singing. Not the md with the most self importance.
I love this song, sung so well! Though I have always wondered, is it in a different language, or are they made up words to give a good effect? Great song! :D
They did this so well. But I just don't get the choreography, lol. It's just very unnecessary - the song is powerful enough.

Haha, I was freaked out when they started singing this.. 'cause a few minutes before I'd been talking to my sister and I was like 'They should sing an Enya song!' and I'd been humming Adiemus all day :P
This made me love them even more, 'cause it's such a brilliant song and they sang it amazingly :D
I hope they win.. they've definately been the most consistent.
And what on earth is everyone arguing for? Who cares what 'English' people call them? At least they're supporting them!

Gair bach o gyngor - 'does ddim angen fod yn anghwrtais tuag at y Saeson. Mae llawer ohonynt wedi pleidleisio i YGA a diolch am hyny.
(Translation : There's no need to be disrespectful - YGA have received many votes from English people, and I'm sure they're very thankful for that.)

Don't make a fool of yourselves English people, DON'T call them 'Ysgol'. That, in Welsh, means 'School' ... call them Glanaethwy, cause it has no translation, and it makes sense in Welsh. haha. lol
Cos atm, you are all there shouting 'Go Ysgol!' meaning 'Go School!' instead of 'Go Glanaethwy' .. which means the same in both languages as it has no translation. Stupid idiots, but you weren't to know. =P

don't kid your self either NICKCLAPTON,we don't give a shit about your language either. i mean, at least we can talk about you behind your back. chwerthin allan yn uchal!
LlinosHeledd93 3 years ago
no offence meant here but if english ppl are shouting anything in support surely we should take that gracefully so what if they don't know "ysgol" is school in welsh at least they are supporting ysgol glanaethwy and to be honest thats all that matters!!!!
jaysmith2108 3 years ago
yes i know that, and very thankful for that, but i thought i'd better tell you, so you could know abit about the welsh language, and then an english idiot comes and says he doesn't give a shit! if he didn't give a shit he shouldn't have commented on it should he!

Llinos Heledd. Glanaethwy will will only if they get votes from across the UK. Showing such a disdainful and disrespectful will only cause offense and could potentially cost Glanaethwy votes. I found it mildly amsuing that Ysgol Glanaethwy was being shortened to ysgol - but that's all. Do you know the meaning of every English word? Or even, come to that, every Welsh word? Bydd dy agwedd anghwrtais yn gostus ac os llwyddi di i droi'r Saeson yn erbyn Glanaethwy, bydd yn gostus iawn iddyn nhw.

They're my favourite choir on the show but I do know that Only Men Aloud are better really...... And AMC. But their members are older. I just love the number of boys this choir has.

I personally think that their pronunciations were to harsh, and I wasnt a fan of the breathy noises at the begining of the lines. Its good, but i have heard better versions
getduffed0 3 years ago
im sorry but thats how its supposed to sound its tribal and the 'breathy noises' are part of the song.
TheHorsey1 3 years ago 4
Well I still think they over did it, I have never heard an interpretation which was so pronounced, even on the ones conducted by Jenkins.
No need to apologise

They are doing this show in a DIFFERENT LANG!!!!
Give them a break with your "knowledge" of this song...!!!
Everyone has the right to and opinion and i'm fully aware of that- but they did a damn good job... you can clearly see that the pupils are like 14-18year old... give them RESPECT for effort....!!!!!!!!!!!!

really like them, however, the md on the show let them down. he does not like the remotest bit of critism, which can be healthy. for the group dynamics alone i will not vote for them. it is called last choir singing. Not the md with the most self importance.

I love this song, sung so well! Though I have always wondered, is it in a different language, or are they made up words to give a good effect? Great song! :D

Karl Jenkins made up the words for his whole Adiemus series, they have no meaning, similar to scat.
mikeouk 3 years ago
Thank you! Ah yes, they are similar to scat aren't they? It's great that they fit so well in the melody! Thanks for telling me again! :D
