Welsh Male Voice Choir - THE LORD'S PRAYER - Cantorion Colin Jones

[Grwpi]

I hear there is a new CD about to be realised!.....when will we be able obtain it?

[tonganfoilole69]

Beautiful...Bravo''

[PNCCaine]

I get sea sick following the camera for such beautiful singing!!!

[donaldrose]

It is important to realise that in a proper choral recording session the sound technician takes a great deal of care with the positioning of many microphones and then carefully blending the input at a mixing desk for optimal balance.

This appears to have been done with nothing more than a hand held video camera and the rather poor microphone these have.

Despite all that I think this rendition is wonderful.

[charliejdk]

this is absolutely gorgeous. thanks for posting it.

[fouloleron2002]

Best setting of them all.

[ApostlesoYahwehUnite]

This is great! Can't beat the Lord's Prayer! I love Jesus.

[404dav901]

Bit heavy on the piano, otherwise beautiful singing

[UKchurchSDAmusic]

@404dav901 I havethis piece for piano, I think its more the camera positioning that was a little wrong ^_^

making piano sound heavy... but I do love it all.. all the same :)

[someonespadre]

And now, as our Saviour Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say, (BCP1929, Pg 82)

[beetle21403]

Brilliant.... well sung, beautiful accompaniment, well worth a second and third listen. Thanks for posting!!

[7pointblue]

Still the best!

[CanadaPisces]

Beautiful male choral singing! Thank you Daf for the posting!

[mamaina14]

bravo magnificent !!!!

[mamaina14]

magnifico!!!!!!!!!!

[Freeportku001]

After hours of searching, I finally found one of the BEST remixes of the Lord's Prayer it really sounds good type in "mrpastor77 lord's prayer"

[paulito97]

Ethiccomm, May I sugggest that you go to a church near where you live and ask to talk with the priest or minister and tell him exactly what is happening and he will be able to help you to network with others who can help you. And for that, you can thank God. Youj're ion my prayers.

[XerMeLL3]

Why is it everytime I hear this Lord's Prayer song in this version I would cry??? huhuhu

[ethicomm]

Is there a Christian that can offer me some words of hope? I know that sounds corny but I'm being sincere. I feel at the end of my line not making a very good living, in debt and having creditors on my case. If I lose the home my parent's left to my brother and me I don't know what I'll do. It would mean giving up my blessed dog Homer. I'm not in a good position for a 50 year old man, using the food bank and all. No education or training. Lord help me.

[PhilAlanian]

I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread. The LORD knows what we need even before we ask Him.

[hohlakoi]

Do not despair. Keep the faith, be hopeful. When all else fails us, faith and hope sustain us. I'm sure those who read your words will keep you in their prayers.

[TopRatedVideos1]

@ethicomm - There are thousands praying for you. Do not loose the faith. We all go through challenges in life, but there is no question that the Lord will help you in your hour of need.  God Bless You!

[0871368021]

The Hope a christian can give u is the promise of everlasting life in Christ Jesus who willingly laid down His life in exchange for ur precious precious life.He loves u my friend &He desires 2change your heart,set you free from all darkness and restore and heal you.Will there still be trouble and difficulty in our lives?YES.But the promise is that He will be with u always to comfort you and lead u on the right path so to deliver u from your enemies & sin.Call out to Him & He will hear your cry.

[thisislewisj8]

im catholic will that do?

[jorland428]

@ethicomm Give us this day our daily bread is asking for all your needs to be met, spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, opportunities; every thing you may possibly need to complete His plan for your existence on this earth. You are putting too much emphasis on you and on material things. He sends opportunities to do good things, you just need to take advantage.

[diko62656]

Beautiful video, love it. Thank you Solstaro for invitation and for sharing this video.

[stihlthebest]

I'd love to hear them in a place with good acustics. beautiful job though!!!!!!!!!!

[burlamero]

Praise the Lord !!!! and God bless you !!!!!

[alow24]

WOW!!!!!!!!! Perfect

[iantonowful]

It's very pretty but it isn't the Lord's Prayer - Pregeth Yr Arglwydd

[caprice6]

Lord's Prayer is straight from the gospel-Matthew 6:9-13 Our Father, who art in heaven,  Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. [For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.] Amen.

[wattever333]

why the [ ] ?

[jameshaire]

The bit in [ ] is not included in some early manuscripts of Matthew, and that is oft noted in printed bibles by the brackets and an accompanying footnote.

[Nonie46]

@caprice6 If you consider the entire Bible as a prayer book, The Lord's Prayer is the complete summary!

[tarik19501956]

veramente bravi,siete una carezza dell'anima....

[bloxwichman]

fantastic i love the welsh choirs.

[tarik19501956]

bravi veramente in gamba

[bigtube1975]

God Bless.... what a Wonderfully uplifting thing to listen to! :)

[silverstartrucker]

Glorious sound but would have been so much better with the pipe organ.

[54spiritedwill54]

Enjoyed this immensly!

[bigtube1975]

Another Brilliant Performance! Thanks again from an appreciative, sleepless tenor... I am Much more at peace now. God Bless.. and So beautifully, beautifully done! :)

[gfcjr110674]

magnifico!

[796824]

Truly splendid

[gypwin]

beautiful.while you're here check out another welsh singer.check out gypwin

[ifuliki]

Aled ydy fy nwy and I have forgotten my language. This is so beautiful. Hyfryd iawn.

[Gwallteriedig77]

This is seriously inspiring stuff.  Colin Jones is surely conducting's equivalent to Star Wars' Jedi Master Yoda!

[DoekimThai15]

Would this be a classical song?

[ewreid]

In my opinion, this song would be best catagorized as "popular sacred." It was written in the 1930s, and its style doesn't really fit into any of the Classical genres.

[GYLEN1234]

Having been led to this choir after listening to the beautiful voice of John Puw, I can only concur with the latest comment. Absolutely stunning .  Indeed, may the Lord bless you in 2009.

[ChristineRuud]

Absolutely stunning. I shivered.

[bigtube1975]

I just gave my very first performance...after 16 years of singing... of Handel's Messiah... 4 months of prep..and 1 shot and It's over. I was kind of ... almost depressed about it...and Then I heard this again. Absolutely Heavenly! Truly a a choir of Angels... May God Bless you all..and Have a Very Blessed and Merry Christmas!!

[AnnaAgainstAtheists]

Diolch yn fawr!

[tarik19501956]

veramente spirituali.............

[rexlatino]

Absolutely stunning.

[asjesus]

good!

[asjesus]

The Lord's Prayer Our Father which are in Heaven, Hallowed by thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven Give us today our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

[donaldrose]

This was taken at a good tempo. More importantly the balance of the parts was well managed with the tenors and basses shining when needed. All who are associated with choral singing know that baritones predominate and to hear the tenors ringing in chest tone in the a-flat was just great. Then in the amen the tone of the basses was deep, rich and most importantly not flat. Well done!!!

[Daisy4dk]

Powerful choir. I'm stunned.

[amazinggroan]

I go heaven

[bigtube1975]

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS VIDEO! I have heard Hundreds of versions of this. I have sung it solo for 17 weddings. But this is Far and AWAY the BEST Version I have EVERRR HEARD. God Bless... and Thank You So much for posting this!

[bigtube1975]

Once again...Thank you for this amazing piece of Heaven!!! It brings to close another Glorious day... Good night! Thank you... and God Continue to Bless you All!

[benaggreyfynn]

Oh my God, this is 'mega', this is great.

It is always consuming and overwhelming everytime I hear this humble male choir sing. Blessed be God foever!

Thank you very much for posting. I love it.

Welldone and God bless †

[joanabanyeres]

Rich voices. beautiful

[crschang1985]

Angels~~~

incredibly magnificent

never get tired of this song

btw I've seen scores of this song with soprano alto tenor and bass,

culd u tell me how is this piece divided among men only?

thx

[cyfieithydd]

Thank you for very kind comment.

Male voice choirs have sung this song for many, many years - the first tenors sing the tune almoust throughout with the voices beneath filling the harmany. The only time the tune is elsewhere is from "as we forgive our debtors" to the word "temptation", the baritones sing the tune here. Also, the final Amens (after the Bb climax) are a little different to the way the solo version.

[cyfieithydd]

For your further info, I checked the score and the arrangement is by someone called Carl Deis. The last sentence of my previous answer should not include the word "way" - I should have deleted it after changing the sentence, but as usual didn't read properly before pressing Post Comment.

[newtonbrook]

Enjoyed this immensly!

[bigtube1975]

Thank you...once again... Good night.. and God Bless

[bigtube1975]

STUNNING!!! Had a rough past couple of days...then i remembered I hadn't watched this video at night before going to bed. I did last night.. and I had an AWESOME day today. God Bless you ALL for posting this. Truly Breathtaking!!!

Good night

[Richardgwm]

Prayer doesn't work.

[imaoldkidnow]

praise God for the gifts He has graciously given us :) Let us use them to serve Him!

[stoninoensemble]

Wow! Simply breath-taking. I had to close my eyes and savor the beauty of the song, accepting the grace of God. I got misty as it connected me to my Father. When I reach that age as most of them in the clip, I thought I could still sing the way they do, and still give glory to God. Thank you very much for this wonderful gift. God be gracious to you!

PS. Kindly allow embedding for the greater glory of God and the benefit of His people. gracias.

[griffcats]

A powerful choir. A live performance would be thrilling

[Grwpi]

Yes, we dont see them out and about very often these days. Get the bookings in and let us know when you do it so we can come along and support.

[choralmeister]

This choir is really something special. How does this Musical Director get them to perform in such a beautiful way - many hours of hard work I bet. The baritones and basses are truly captivating

[clangerccfc]

IT,S TRUE....no one can beat that beautiful sound of a welsh male voice choir.....OUTSTANDING

[cricedwr]

Great stuff

[bigtube1975]

MMMM Time for bed again... now i can sleep at peace once more..Bravo and thank you ... Simply beautiful!!

[cyfieithydd]

Is BigTube1975 the YouTube version of Rip van Winkle - he's been asleep for nigh on two weeks! :)

[bigtube1975]

I just listend to this again... Words cannot say enough...I am listening to this every night before bed from now on... Thanks again!! God Bless!

[bigtube1975]

THANK YOU!! I have sung this for 17 different weddings for friends, family, and around my city. I have heard countless others sing it. I sang wiht a professional choir for 7 years...and took 5 yrs of voice lessons... I have NEVER heard this sound SOOO beautiful!!! I cried.. Thank you.. that final amen?? truly heavenly God bless

[MinaMcKay]

You all sound so lovely!

[waynetenor]

WOW ! as a person wrote...BLOWN AWAY...at the gates of HEAVAN...hearing these men geeting any soul would be a welcome to behold ! thankyou very much

[Gwallteriedig77]

Anhygoel!

[theislander62]

Thank God for beautiful voices. I first heard this song at a Sydney Male Choir's rehearsal and fell in love with it. Thank you for the memories. R.I.P ... Samuel Andrew Morrison.

[whatrunuts]

Makes me so proud of my heritage

[macciboma]

Bella corale cantano tutti insieme con una

ispirazione,e in modo sensibile e di grande

professionalità,tutto molto ben riuscito.

Auguro buon successo,avanti così.

[macciboma]

Molto raccolto stupendo coro,ben modulato,

bella armonia, musica dolce e fine,complimenti

per la grande esecuzione,cantate tutti con

l'anima.

[whatrunuts]

Needed at just the right time. Thank you.

[crschang1985]

I think they sing this music in heaven!!!!!

seriously

[allmusic14]

I loved it. Thanks for sharing.

[martinevans123]

haha, andt I'm afraid you won't get it, until you close your eyes and open your ears. Then maybe you'll see a choir instead of a bunch, geezers or not. If you open your heart as well, you'll see a prayer... and this one's a very, very old prayer, but still alive here.

[omgcutiestephy]

well put. very beautiful. the acoustics seem like they'd be amazing in that building.

[Tenor65]

Awesome!!!

[karenscott3]

This is AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL!!!...:) Karen

[ccccwwwwc]

THE MOST BEAUTIFULEST!!!

[karawasan]

...like voices that come down from HEAVEN!

[sismael]

Wonderful..

[cyfieithydd]

I return to this again and again. It is a wonderful song, wonderfully sung!

[bryntomos]

This choir is the best Ambassador ever for Wales and its music! Well done lads.

[cyfieithydd]

This is an excellent video of the choir. The best thing is that it filmed from the correct side for christ are ths basses ugly! Sorry lads - I don't mean it honest!! Well, not much!!!

[xxelvisxx2205]

In addition, listen to the way all the voices cover in their respective pasaggio zones - this is a highly accomplished sound and one that should be emulated by all choirs before the art of singing becomes a thing of the past.

[xxelvisxx2205]

What impresses most is the whole dynamic control - this piece takes the choir from extreme pianissimo to a fortisimo ending (high B flat for the top tenors). Both extremes work perfectly. And not many Male Voice choirs sing with such line - it is so difficult to get a body of singers to do it, but it is wonderful here. The conductor deserves the highest accolades!!

[Cawr]

Truly a wonderful sound. Such balance and controlled power

[johnarwyn]

TRULY WONDERFUL

[xxelvisxx2205]

Wow!!
