  • oh john rutter, i tried for years in vain for my heart to not belong to you, but you are just too good!! :)

  • It's a marvellous little jewel of a song, but no matter how much I respect the Cambridge Singers they make it sound like a church service.

  • Ayn Rand!!?? When did she care about poetry or music, or anything of value without price?

  • @bartje11 Brilliant! Orlando is proud.

  • Beautiful interpretation. I have a slight preference for the hilliard ensemble's though, for its touching lightness.

  • @Desandon yes, it is depressing....Gibbons was writing about the end of a glorious era, and found that 'more geese than swans now live, more fools than wise"....very sad...Gibbons was the last in a long line that included Morley, Downland, Campion...and many more...

  • @bartje11 Beautifully sung!

  • i found this peace beautiful, but so depressing, that i could not bring myself to sing it

  • we sing this, too. but in this recording it is hard to understand the lyrics...
