We hasten with feeble but diligent footsteps
Oh Jesus, Oh Master, for help unto thee.

  • I love the boys' voices! It's just wonderful. Does anybody know which Boys' Choir is singing this?

  • This is from "Mr. Bach Comes to Call" of the Classical Kids recordings. The Toronto Boys Choir is credited.

  • I LOVE THE ALBUM, "Mr. Bach Comes To Call." THAT IS GREAT! I love this one.

    Cd u do one of Beethoven Lives Upstairs?

  • Yeah, it's my favorite too! Unfortunately, I don't have the Beethoven one (although I have heard it).

  • Will u do the one where Elisabeth talks about Anna Magdilina?

    Uh, "When Thou Art Near" I wanna hear her talking while its going on.

  • Good idea. It should be up now.

  • I don't understand why they're singing in English and not German, it's not right!! Also the runs of 'hasten' sound a bit rushed and slurred together. Believe me I know, my singing teacher yelled at my choir for half an hour about that - it sounds awful! and some of the high notes sound a bit iffy. I love this song but there are better versions I'm sure, so I'm going to go find one.

  • Speed is more right, compared to other versions... and the kid singers are on key in this difficult piece. Nice hearing it in English... German good too!

  • It's a shame the Toronto Boys' Choir no longer exists. I used to go to their concerts when I was a kid. They used to collaborate with the Canadian Children's Dance Theatre in their production of, 'Wintersong.'

  • Funny, I was just listening to this cassette tape the other day (sorting through for junk to toss) and I remembered listening to "Mr. Bach Comes to Call" as a kid on my tape player. What a coincidence that I would hit on this on Youtube lol.

  • The melismas were so fun to do...

  • I sang alto for this song with my choir!!!! I loved it!!!!

  • Yes. It's not uncommon to adapt works like this. Vivaldi's "Laudamus Te" is frequently done with choral groups as well.

  • This is in reality a duet for two sopranos.

  • This was one of my absolute favorite recordings when I was a kid.
