Do you have a link to Robin and Alexander? I can't seem to find it.

[Jairdan]

There are two different parts available on You Tube...I can't post a link...Not sure why, but it NEVER turns up..To find the 2 files: Search "BWV-229" that leads you to the first excerpt! Second search "Gute Nacht + Alexander" Than you will find the second part...Those are different parts from "Jesus my Joy"

[deathbyblonde11]

Thank you so much!

[Jairdan]

I forget to mention: The same part -as shown here- is also available on You Tube. Different soloist from the Tölzer boys choir, but still better than this video. Search: Jesu, meine Freude excerpts (+ Knabenchor)

Toelzers Alexander and Robin sings that part better

[Jairdan]

Yes, we absolutely agree on that. As I said in another thread: I hardly ever heard anything more beautiful then the Bach Motetten sung by Robin and Alexander.

This part is out of a movie and the Trapp Family had no success with classical music, the concert visitors were bored and they finally had a break through with austrian folk music...The classical pieces are weaker in the movie and shorter..I guess, on purpose, because they wanted to show an development in their singing abilty...

those who dont like bach shouldnt even speak of music itself!! their ears are tuned to useless, tuneless music!! lo, bach's music lives forever!! and german music stands apart in a distance whose threshold even cant be reached by other music!

Well, they are actors playing the Trapp Family Singers in a movie called "The Trapp family in America" (1958). A sequel to the first movie from 1956 (which had pretty much the same story as "The Sound of Music", but with classical and folk songs instead of showtunes). This sequel deals with their early concert tours in the US after having left Austria.

When I heard these two films for the first time, took the sacred singing my heart! these children met the magic of transformation! God's angels were present when these films were taken! holy love and greetings to the heaven! Trautwin, Als ich diese beiden Filme zum ersten Mal hörte, ergriff der heilige Gesang mein Herz! diese Kinder trafen das Zauberwort der Wandlung! Gottes Engel waren zugegen, als diese Aufnahmen entstanden! heilige Liebe und Gruesse zum Himmel! Trautwin

The kids are irritating. The dad is gay, and so are the sons.

Ups! Bei 0:41 verstehe ich immer "Und ich will sex" :D

@luvdeafbroadway777 No. The title is a bit misleading.

@nicopsico La Doctrina Monroe es clara: América para los norteamericanos. Mejor la Doctrina Drago. A algunos de los nenes Trapp se los culeaba el padre

Why? What's wrong with it? Their singing is certainly valid and they really keep their voices together. Why do you think that JS Bach would not appreciate a proper performance of his own motet?

Or is it that *you* don't like this music?

[luvdeafbroadway777]

was that the real von Trapps?

[alokmahal]

@kevinmom I agree, but come on. Shot in the head? How can music be good with nothing bad to compare it too.
