@edoboleyn Music is the collective heritage of all humankind. Healing is a long process, and it may never happen. After everything that has happened, all the blood that has been spilt, I see a day when we can all sing each other's songs. This is a chip off the wall of imperialism, it is a portent for Prometheus's rising.

I'm so moved by the beautiful singing that I am blinded to my keyboard...my spelling is horrific!

with apologies....the 'King's' Simgers!

Incredible 'complex harmony' that the only the King Singers can pull-off so masterfully...truly outstanding!

@edoboleyn If you're saying that the recording isn't like what the song should be, I can see where you're coming from. However, this is my favorite recording of the song. It's staggeringly beautiful. The wrenching pain is transmuted into a pure, aching glory. It's a crossing of cultures through their essential humanity--and a capturing of the numinous. (Pretentiously phrased, I know, but honest.)

the dissonance is absolutely amazing..... <3

The King's Singers are superb performing Gilbert and Sullivan, or "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with MoTab, but they are in way over their heads when they try to perform anything that has emotional depth and pathos like "Deep River." If you don't understand, search YouTube for the 1991-ish performance by Jessye Norman. Night and day.

@tomtom8428 I agree. I'm not disputing their talent, but there's something about a bunch of British white men who met at Cambridge, singing a slave spiritual that should express the wrenching pain of oppression that just isn't working.
