Maddy has amused , entertained me for all my working life. Thank God for people like her.
One of the very best singers of this genre of music
What a beautiful voice , I heard her sing many years ago ,and it just seems so lovely now as it was then ,what a wonderful gift to mankind Maddy .
I live in the United States. I would love it so much if I could hear Maddy Prior sing this live in my parish church. Her hymn-singing has blessed me and lifted my spirit through difficult times lately. I’m so thankful for her talent and timbre.
I love you madly Maddy. (Guy ex Theatre Clwyd.)
Why was Maddy not in the new years honours list? Surely she deserves a title! Guy , lifetime fan of a lovely talented lady
@@rolandcolyer5199 She already has an MBE. I'd say that was recognition!
Wonderful,so remote from the mad politics of the moment giving hope.
Wonderful Maddy Prior . Always room in my heart for you and your distinctive voice.
Maddy's voice has become more spectacular with age.
Still fantastic after all these years
I didn't know till recently that Wesley originally wrote it to this tune. I used to sing Fairest Isle back in the 60s. I've always liked Maddy Prior ever since I heard her with Steeleye Span back in the early 70s. Her voice may have lost the freshness of youth but it's got richer in timbre.
Beautiful music. Maddy has a great voice!!
Would love to hear her sing it with "Fairest Isle" lyrics, along with Handel's "Have You Not Seen My Lady."
Her voice gets better with age!
Love divine, always makes me want to cry tears!
Wonderful singing
Man alive, that was deliciously outstanding.
One of my top ten hymns! Love you Maddy...
What a lovely voice!
Beautiful

Lovely music , lovely Maddy and a brilliant video mix. I wish I could still do it. Guy ex tc.
So beautiful. Music at its mysterious best! xx
I had completely forgotton that Love Divine was written for this tune. Got used to Blaenwern, which is lovely. This, the original, is special, bringing out and enhancing the words, as well as being a fine tune in itself. The arrangement is pretty much in period too.
Magnificent Maddy!
A wonderful performance from everyone.
"Fairest Isle" is recognizable as soon as they start playing. Love the song in its original form but Charles Wesley put it to good use. This group proves that.
Beautiful!
beautiful performance!
I believe you're right!
Thanks!
Love divine
how lovely maddy paul p England x x x x 😀 ❤ 😎 👍
What a complex mic.setup! I'm glad I was'nt mixing that one! Love and hugs to Maddy and the orchestra. Guy ex tc.
The words of this hymn-anthem were specifically written by Charles Wesley for "O Fairest Isle" a solo aria by PURCELL. So your only 50% correct.
"Fairest isle, all isles excelling...."?
Definitely it IS Purcell's "Fairest Isle". You, Sir, have a good ear!!
@blackpoolrok It's either sung to 'Love Divine' which only has enough music for half a verse, so one has to sing the tune twice for each verse. It also goes to Blaenwern, this seems to be the preferred tune.
watch?v=Y6hWmfR8dus&feature=related a Welsh tune on a welsh organ.
Ah well. 50% is about average for me. :-)
Thanks for the info!
Does anyone know the hymntune? It's not the one we sing the hymn to most often here in America...
Mm, well, Methodists call it 'Love Divine' too. It's by Charles Wesley.
But the melody *does* sound like some other hymn, though I'm not sure which one.
Music of Charles Wesley? Sounds like Purcell to me.
Song very well suited to the remarkable strengths of Maddy Prior's voice.
