Auld Lang Syne (arr. Robert Shaw)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne

And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Arranged by Robert Shaw

But it wasn't written by Robert Burns.

@olishant

its history is a lot more complicated than I thought

[BrassMaster117]

Can somebody tell me who performs this song?

[ChristmasMusicForAll]

robert shaw oversaw this rendition. Indeed it's probably the Robert Shaw Chorale singing it. The CD from which I got this track is pictured in the beginning of the video.

Wow, it's nice to see that this old song is still being sung the way it was meant to be.....thanks for posting!

[heehawluck1]

@olishant It wasn't written by Burns BUT would it still be sung if he hadn't heard it, wrote the words, extended and augmented it and, finally, got it published? OK? I reckon it's time Burns' detractors extracted their heads from their A'rseholes!!

@supremedracula I agree with you after viewing 50 some U-Tubes

[ChazUrAzz]

This is what I was looking for, The Old rendition of Auld Lang Syne with pictures of Old Friends gone past. To remember the ones that have come and gone or living. Nice.........

[joru100]

this is the way this song should be sung imo, by a group of older men. it gives it that drunken pub feeling that this song should have, without crossing the line into brutish. it's obviously sung by professionals but still.

[gocal777]

beautiful tune to enjoy with a glass of scotch , thank you for posting.

[40milestare]

Great rendition..

@ChristmasMusicForAll

True, it does have a rather complicated history. At any rate, this is a quality video for a great song. Cheers.
