Loch Lomond trad. Scottish folk song arr. Jonathan Quick sung by Chor Leoni, VanMan Festival Singers

Chor Leoni | Erick Lichte, Artistic Director
VanMan Festival Singers 2019
Sam Kreidenweis, soloist
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
And I'll be in Scotland a'fore ye
But me and me true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomond
Where deep in purple hue, the highland hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring
And in sunshine the waters lie sleeping
But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again
And the world knows not how we are grieving.

Oh, memories. I encountered this song as a thirteen year old in 1963. I could never really learn the words as I never got to see it. I fell in love with it the song, never the less. Lovely.

We just performed this as the baritone song in our spring chorus concert. Not a lot of people enjoyed this tune, but I think it is absolutely beautiful and every time I hear it I’m brought to tears.

😢😢😢it must be a ...brave warriors song, please do not let it sound like a funeral soundtrack 😢😢😢it must help people find strength and start the brand new battle all over again, try to put more . .. enthousiasm in your performance, the romantic input is delightful but ...not to send us all to sleep okay? Music happenings in web connection become the best touristic atractions and that is all what we need ❤🎉❤ fans love youuuuu guys no matter what

[@Woo5ter]

To each their own but if you are going to sing as though you hale from the Highlands, make it at least sound like we do as opposed to an exaggerated version.

[@bowemarch8239]

Bugger…I was listening to this thinking it sounds pretty authentic to the accent, especially the use of the word ‘me’. That said I’m from England, so what do I know😉

[@americaforever]

I love this song. I’m not Scottish, never been to the Highlands, or Loch Lomond. But If 50 Highlanders could get together and do it “right”, I’d sure like to hear it. But until then I like these guys

[@JeremiahRappel]

This is too rushed. It feels like they are trying to get through the song. The vocals are good but this needs to be slowed way down.

[@smck001]

"me true love" Just no.

[@garybuchan9217]

That is NOT the way to sing this.

[@astraightchoirkid]

Worst reviewed

[@ghgjftythnhcfghdty]

The arrangement is too "fancy" for a Scottish folk song.

[@ApotropaicV]

I dislike the conducting.

[@jackster99999]

Agreed, feels like it would be restrictive to sing for.
