  • To set Dylan Thomas is a fool's errand.

  • ok but i like the smaller ensemble that does it. i did it at the unitarian church in austin,tx the highlight.to date /of my choral career

  • There's far more music in Thomas' reading of the poem.

  • Yeah, Karyl at the helm ! ! !

  • We did this with chamber choir and a professional string quartet. Very simple. Very serene. I just love this piece. I agree about the percussion though. Not a huge fan. I also think the orchestra covers up a lot of the text and the singing....

  • I first sang this piece in a chamber group in the early 80's. Its even more moving snging it than listening to it. I thought it had gone out of print for a while. Glad to see it has made a big comeback. For those who don't know it - check out Corigliano's "At the Earth's Round Corners" - similar music but a simpler setting.

  • OMG!!! I absolutely love this! I did this in Concert Chorale at the Moores School of Music in 2003!!

  • Check out Dylan Thomas poem FERN HILL made into a song just search for FERN HILL VONSTRUMMER. Really cool!

  • This made me poop my pants it's so awesome.

  • i luv this song! i sang this song w/ my chamber choir a year ago and we had a professional orchestra play for us! good performance, although i dont really like the added drums in the orchestra.
