Could someone please post the words to this beautiful song?

Many thanks.

@sjanexo1 - Well said!! I think she performed this with fire, passion and tenderness, and it all shows through. The music certainly comes alive and breathes vibrance. And so, she can certainly be forgiven for all those miniscule imperfections (if any) that would require microscopic truncation and...

Thank you greatly for this compilation. As a former Oriental living in UK, it's really inspiring to listen to these composers. Please alert me when you upload more. I just find these styles fascinating!!

@foofoothegreat To get clear LH pizz, you need to hold down your notes in the lower fingers harder than usual. So when you pluck the string with finger 3 the firmer contact of finger 2 (& others) will make the note sound clearer. Also you need to pluck in a slightly more upward movement. This ach...

Beautiful song - exquisitely sung. I really love this.

Beautifully played - some really lovely phrasing. I love this piece & you do it great justice. You look like you really love this work. I love some of your bowings (more sensible than the publisher's - LOL) and those brief rests - so effective. But don't rush some of those passages; take your tim...

Very correct & precise performance, thank you. If I could just make a little constructive suggestion? Do try to make the three polyphonic elements of the piece more distinct from each other. Or at least make the bass sound "rounder" than the upper "voices". As the viola's bass is not as deep as a...

@shaochengy Hey. Don't forget Malaysian and Singaporean Hakkas too!! Like you I have lived in UK most of my life and lost my Hakka completely. I returned a few years ago on a trip, and was amazed how industrious people are over there, how friendly too, but also proud of their Hakka heritage! You...

All this sounds quite epic. I understood about 20%. Would be great to have a full translation. I've forgotten nearly all my Hakka, and can't find a refresher or beginner's course. Anybody know a good book I could get?

@futbolkeed Thank you so much for this lovely video. Very thoughtfully composed, with the "real Kuching" versus the "tourist Kuching". I remember these places well - the old Aurora Hotel (Mederka), Chartered Bank/Post Office Building, & Jln Carpenter my street. This is great for so many who want ...

Is this song in Hokkien?

Beautiful song and orchestration. I'm quite amazed how closely the Mandarin script corresponds to the Hakka pronunciations. Am I right in thinking that this could also be sung in Mandarin Chinese? Please tell me... Who wrote the words and music? And who is the singer?

Hey Glossika, thanks very much for these videos. You have good pronunciation and tone-awareness, and just by watching and listening to you,some of my long-lost (over 40 years) Hakka is coming back. I especially like your hand movements in stating the tones - helps a lot. However, in my (originall...

@kfirlevi1 You're very welcome. I'll certainly send you the singable translation when I find it. I am very sorry about the loss of your brother. Yes, the "Brat'ja" (Brothers) song is very sad, but like all Russian folk songs, very beautiful, deep and soulful. I also love the Russian phonology, wh...

Ha ha!! This is the first time I've heard this song. How funny! and how spiffingly witty because of the Russian phonology, especially at the end - clever play on words. Also "If you have no house it wouldn't burn down and your wife wouldn't go to your friend - if you have no wife, that is!" Give...

@BiteSizedRose Hey! You're most welcome. And I'm really chuffed to get a nice comment from someone. Thanks. Do please stick it onto your viola case - it's time the Shrinking Violet stops hiding her light under the bushel. And MAKE THE PRINT BIG!!!! :)

@Danyanz I presume you mean Clinical or cognitive neuro-psychology in practice rather than research. In the UK there is high demand for clinical psychologist with the NHS, & salaries can rise to over £100K for top consultants. Business psych is about how humans interface with work most efficient...

@pmichael73 Yes, I'm sure you're right. Thanks for that insightful contribution. In my comment in clip 2, I did say that she was much more the Leila I love. Possibly by the 2nd/3rd movements, the super-hype has soften a bit, and she became much truer to her true musical self. Technically she is p...

@allannalla420 Thanks for that. I knew it would a good old master, but didn't know which one.

What a fantastic work!! It puts paid to the claim (no offence) that Carlo Martelli has pushed the string orchestra to its furthest limits. No so, when you hear this work! A wonderful symphony from a composer who said he would never write one - rather like Vaughan Williams who said the same!!! So...

Stupendous!! I wonder if the orchestra deliberately stuck to John's minimum string-complement of 6,5,4,4,2? I wonder what a full string orchestra 12,10,8,8,4 would sound like? Or an extended orchestra of 16,14,12,10,8? Would be phenomenal, I'd think! But the minimum spec's here have preserved the...
