Subterranean Clarinet - Heyr Himna Smiður (Icelandic Hymn)

Shenandoah Conservatory clarinet students, under the direction of professor Garrick Zoeter, perform the Icelandic Hymn Heyr Himna Smiður deep underground in Virginia's famous Luray Caverns.
A special thank you to everyone at Luray Caverns who made this possible with such generosity and ease!
Performers are:
B flat Clarinets: Jacob Moyer, Breanna Gromicko, Shannon Williams, Paul Wissman, Caelan Shirey, Danielle Confletti, Megan Smallwood, Betty Bley, Sarah Speck, Amanda Gold, Danielle Coffinbarger
Bass Clarinet: Kyla Wilcox, Sarah Giunta,
Words to the Hymn are as follows:
Hear, smith of the heavens,
what the poet asks.
May softly come unto me
thy mercy.
So I call on thee,
for thou hast created me.
I am thy slave,
thou art my Lord.
God, I call on thee
to heal me.
Remember me, mild one,[1]
Most we need thee.
Drive out, O king of suns,
generous and great,
human every sorrow
from the city of the heart.
Watch over me, mild one,
Most we need thee,
truly every moment
in the world of men.
send us, son of the virgin,
good causes,
all aid is from thee,
in my heart.

As a former member of the Shenandoah Clarinet Ensemble (w/Dr. Johnston), I am thrilled to find the group still playing so beautifully!! Bravo!!

This is absolute perfection: the hymn, the arrangement, the stylistic phrasing, and the intonation. I am greatly looking forward to performing this with my Clarinet Choir.

I was expecting to see Indiana Jones in the background pouring water from the Holy Grail into his father's mouth who was fatally wounded by a gunshot.
