Want to try another one? Not Dowland, but incredibly beautiful. I think I've listened to it twenty or thirty times, and it gets me every time: ua-cam.com/video/IwdeqVmXlHk/v-deo.html The final chord sounds for all the world like a pipe organ.
Imagine the house parties when this was released. Just hearing choruses of people singing such music, with friends and family accompanying on instrumentation. Fantastic.
It's wonderful to see and hear my favourite Dowland song being performed so beautifully and combined with gorgeous impressions of a nostalgic train and picturesque landscape.
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. Mr Dowland was an exceptional composer, and he was at the height of his powers when he wrote this; and the performance is exquisite.
how right you are when you say that and I bet what's happening now in this country would not have been allowed to happen in this country back in the days when this piece of music was composed !!!
This is truly wonderful. Showing the singing parts in quarto format in the early part of the video demonstrates how this music was something that could be done at home, or in a tavern, among friends. And the singing and playing is so lovely.
This brought back memories for me of a lovely English summer day spent with my niece as she showed us around Goathland. As Australians it brought the country where they filmed "Heartbeat" to life for us. Sadly, we didn't have Les Canards Chantants to sing John Dowland for us.
Absolutely exquisite, starting with the song itself, a Dowland masterpiece, the lyrics of which are haunting and moving and so true. Les Canards Chantants have beautiful voices and the harmony is just perfect. Congratulations to the Laudist, beautifully interpreted. The montage by train through North Yorkshire is perfect as a drop back to this song. Altogether a marvellous production and thank you so much for sharing this.
Sabía k tenía esta pieza y k era de Dowland, cuando la oí en un concierto reciente, y no pude contener las lágrimas cuando empecé a oírla... Pero no la localizaba entre mis discos... Hasta k hoy la localicé y mi alegría no tuvo límites. Es una pieza k te llega muy, muy hondo...y te reconcilia con TODO
The very best interpretation I ever heard...a direct access to the heart balm for the soul, wonderful pictures, sympathic singers....absolutely perfect!!! Thanks a lot!!
Now, O now, I needs must part Parting though I absent mourn Absence can no joy impart: Joy once fled cannot return While I live I needs must love Love lives not when Hope is gone Now at last Despair doth prove Love divided loveth none Sad despair doth drive me hence This despair unkindness sends If that parting be offence It is she which then offends Dear, when I am from thee gone Gone are all my joys at once I loved thee and thee alone In whose love I joyed once And although your sight I leave Sight wherein my joys do lie Till that death do sense bereave Never shall affection die Sad despair doth drive me hence, etc Dear, if I do not return Love and I shall die together For my absence never mourn Whom you might have joyed ever: Part we must though now I die Die I do to part with you Him Despair doth cause to lie Who both liv'd and dieth true
I just discovered this, it prompted real tears--of joy, of sadness (Dowland, remember!)--as former lute-player (I'm now too old, 78!) & I recognize the book of music that is being used. It is GREAT, & very satisfying. Blessings on you all!
This is wonderful because it takes me right back (imaginatively) to all the long ages before recorded sound, all the countless happy moments when a group of talented friends or family would get together and bring sweet music into the home.
I have ridden the NYMR 2 or 3 times and see parts of it most weekends as I drive through the area My daughters have played The Frog Galliard within an ensemble with which they play. Having heard this sublime rendition of a familiar piece against a familiar setting, I shall view all so differently henceforth. So beautiful.
Dowland is such a joy to sing - always thought that he's underestimated. When he's performed as well as this, it just brings a smile to your face. He also published the tune on its own as the Frog Galliard.
Stunning pairing of this interpretation with video beauty -- watching again 8 years later, and enchanted still. May all these young musicians and videographers be thriving in spring 2022!
Absolutely beautiful and evocative of wonderful and lonely places that are found only in England. Congratulations to all singers, musicians and photographer.
Love everything about your video, beautiful music and perfectly blended voices, the mysterious lutenist, the train, the landscape, many, many thanks for your heartfelt art!
I found this a short while back. As another commenter pointed out - the four part harmony in the book is the original format for singing round a table from an early edition. The diction and harmony are beautiful and I then chased down more from the lutenist. Very glad indeed to have found this - please record some more for UA-cam if able to.
The video and the music together are absolutely magical. I can't find another video on UA-cam that gives me such tender feelings and bittersweet memories. Feeling very homesick for England but in a way I can't get enough of.
The Performance and the video is fantastic: Not only sung and played perfectly and very inspired, but it shows the different aspects of the composition as well; lute-song, song with melody-voice and as madrigal. Perfect!
What a perfect mixing of a lovely aire of Dowland with the scenery of North Yorkshire and the train ! Dowland's song is so blissfully wistful and your performance is the best I've heard before. It did bring tears May you be eminently successful!
I was in a small madrigal choir when I was younger. This was one of the pieces we did, and I loved it. Dowland was a genius, and this performance does the work justice. Wonderful.
John Dowland, my heart's delight! How you suffered for your beautiful art! You have enriched all of humanity to this age. My soul melts with the beauty of your art! My soul cries out in recognition.
A breath of fresh air for the spirit... There is nothing like a lute and a Dowland madrigal to awaken us from the doldrums of modern living! ...Ahhh, sublime!
Great harmonies, clear diction, lovely lute, rustic scenes. Everyone involved did a great job on the video. Turned UA-cam into a time machine. A+++ production
my next holidays.. a charming old train, your voices, this sweet English country in spring, yes in spring.Thanks a lot, I just had a dream, when autumn begins, I'll keep my dream during winter time
A very important characteristic of a masterpiece of every art is its integrity. It means, no part should "clash". This short film is a masterpiece for all its parts to the least detail (the train, the bench, the check-in counter) are in harmony with the music and with each other. В любом произведении искусства очень важна цельность, ни одна его составная не должна выбиваться из общей картины. Этот короткий фильм - шедевр, потому что все его части вплоть до мелких деталей (билетная касса, скамейка, поезд) гармонируют и с музыкой, и друг с другом. Die wichtige Eigenschaft eines richtigen Kunstwerks ist seine "Ganzheit". Das bedeutet, dass kein Teil aus dem Ganzen ausfallen darf. Dieser Kurzfilm ist ein Meisterwererk, weil alle seine Bestandteile bis hin zu den kleinen Details (Kasse, Bank, Zug) miteinander und mit der Musik harmonieren. Une qualité extremement importante d'un œuvre d'art est son "Intégrité", c'est à dire que chacune partie intégrale ne doive pas sortir de l'ensemble. Ce film est un chef d'œuvre parce que toutes ces parties jusqu'aux plus petits détails (guichet, train, banquette) sont en harmonie l'une avec l'autre et avec la musique.
Beautiful, simply beautiful! Such truely, truely lovely voices, and such a well-chosen setting for this memorable lute song by J. Dowland. Thanks ever so much!
I wish my morning train ride into the city was like this.
Some things are just so exquisitely beautiful they bring tears. This is one.
That makes two of us.
Absolutely.
Want to try another one? Not Dowland, but incredibly beautiful. I think I've listened to it twenty or thirty times, and it gets me every time:
ua-cam.com/video/IwdeqVmXlHk/v-deo.html
The final chord sounds for all the world like a pipe organ.
O yes
Oh, grow a pair.
The lutenist complements this beautiful quartet of voices so well. BRILLIANT!!!!!!
what a delight to hear Dowlands masterpiece sung with such perfection
sung and played!
Dowland was the pop-star of his day.
Imagine the house parties when this was released. Just hearing choruses of people singing such music, with friends and family accompanying on instrumentation. Fantastic.
Absolutely beautiful music 👍👍
Master musicians.
1597 still relevant to today
I love early music, especially John Dowland and to hear it sung so beautifully
So well done on all fronts! One for the ages!
It's wonderful to see and hear my favourite Dowland song being performed so beautifully and combined with gorgeous impressions of a nostalgic train and picturesque landscape.
I came on this by chance. Timeless joy.
Very, very nice! Great video!
Das ist wunderbar, herzlichen Dank fürs Hochladen!!!
J’ecoute pendant des heures.Une beaute inexprimable 🙏🙏🙏
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. Mr Dowland was an exceptional composer, and he was at the height of his powers when he wrote this; and the performance is exquisite.
Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où j'ai dû écouter cette pièce et visionner cette vidéo. C'est d'une beauté tellement exquise!❤
This music is so comforting and beautiful. It puts me into a bery meditative place.
This puts to shame the garbage that passes for music these days. This is heavenly!
You don´t have to criticize other music or musicians in order to appreciate this one.
Agreed. At least there are some of us who still appreciate class.
how right you are when you say that and I bet what's happening now in this country would not have been allowed to happen in this country back in the days when this piece of music was composed !!!
Nobody's impressed, grow up
This is truly wonderful. Showing the singing parts in quarto format in the early part of the video demonstrates how this music was something that could be done at home, or in a tavern, among friends. And the singing and playing is so lovely.
So much beauty. Are not love and music the ultimate truth about human life?
I am going to put your question in a frame on my wall :)
So much beauty. Are not love and music thé ultmate truth of our everyday Life ?
This brought back memories for me of a lovely English summer day spent with my niece as she showed us around Goathland. As Australians it brought the country where they filmed "Heartbeat" to life for us.
Sadly, we didn't have Les Canards Chantants to sing John Dowland for us.
We die into a little immortality for hearing these marvellous young singers.
I can’t even tell you how many times I have listened to this! Love love love ❤️ it and MerryChristmas to all!
The musical performance is incredible, the creativity is pairing it with the vintage railway. Absolute stunning visually, and totally unexpected.
Thank you, Frances! We're still not entirely sure why it worked, but it did...
What a beautiful rendition of this piece! My husband, brother in law and sister in law and I all love singing this together.
Lovely sounds and scenes
After milling through hard rock with heavy metal. I have found treasure. And tears bring out heavenly illuminance.....!!!
Great!!! But don't forget to listen to 70's progressive rock: Yes, Genesis, Camel, Focus, Gentle Giant, Renaissance etc. ❤
very annoying
What an angelic performance! Loved the setting onboard a vintage train. ❤
Absolutely exquisite, starting with the song itself, a Dowland masterpiece, the lyrics of which are haunting and moving and so true. Les Canards Chantants have beautiful voices and the harmony is just perfect. Congratulations to the Laudist, beautifully interpreted. The montage by train through North Yorkshire is perfect as a drop back to this song. Altogether a marvellous production and thank you so much for sharing this.
Agreed! Their voices are in perfect harmony. The Lutenist is wonderful too!
It was very nice and calming until they started singing. I turned it off then
Quite so! This is a perfect-rendition that ranks with the highest Dowland lute-songs... the voices and the Lute are incredibly sweet and memorable!

So you mean DUCKS 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 aren't able to SING ! What a pity !.....
La plus belle interprétation de Now, O Now que je connaisse!
The very best interpretation I ever heard...a direct access to the heart balm for the soul, wonderful pictures, sympathic singers....absolutely perfect!!!
Thanks a lot!!
+Hannes Heinz Thank you so much! We love this music and it is a joy to share it with you.
It’s like traveling through the UK and being immersed in its history for those of us who cannot travel at the moment.
Wise words.
We share the same thoughts and impressions looking through the window on a wonderful landscape accompanied by heavenly music.
C'est ça le bonheur les canards! Merci beaucoup pour ces instants de légèreté!
+Mathieu Lamaure Merci beaucoup!
Pure Magic...Glory to Thee All...thank you Father of Creation Master Dowland
0:41 He must have arrived at the train station 2 hours early, if he tought he had time to tune before embarking.
You just made me cry. Too beautiful.
Now, O now, I needs must part
Parting though I absent mourn
Absence can no joy impart:
Joy once fled cannot return
While I live I needs must love
Love lives not when Hope is gone
Now at last Despair doth prove
Love divided loveth none
Sad despair doth drive me hence
This despair unkindness sends
If that parting be offence
It is she which then offends
Dear, when I am from thee gone
Gone are all my joys at once
I loved thee and thee alone
In whose love I joyed once
And although your sight I leave
Sight wherein my joys do lie
Till that death do sense bereave
Never shall affection die
Sad despair doth drive me hence, etc
Dear, if I do not return
Love and I shall die together
For my absence never mourn
Whom you might have joyed ever:
Part we must though now I die
Die I do to part with you
Him Despair doth cause to lie
Who both liv'd and dieth true
thank you, should be a top reply
Thank you kindly
Many thanks, jogroe, for your kind work, putting these lyrics here for clarification. Very nice of you. Stay well!
Thanks
Μόνοι μας τα παίζουμε, μόνοι μας τα ακούμε.
Πάει η τέχνη.
You are wonderful
I just discovered this, it prompted real tears--of joy, of sadness (Dowland, remember!)--as former lute-player (I'm now too old, 78!) & I recognize the book of music that is being used. It is GREAT, & very satisfying. Blessings on you all!
MAY GOD PRESERVE THIS WONDERFUL PART OF ENGLISH CULTURE AND SPIRIT!!! ✌🏽
What an exquisite tenor voice. 🤩
This is wonderful because it takes me right back (imaginatively) to all the long ages before recorded sound, all the countless happy moments when a group of talented friends or family would get together and bring sweet music into the home.
I have ridden the NYMR 2 or 3 times and see parts of it most weekends as I drive through the area My daughters have played The Frog Galliard within an ensemble with which they play. Having heard this sublime rendition of a familiar piece against a familiar setting, I shall view all so differently henceforth. So beautiful.
I am so glad this music continues to live on. Your voices are pitch perfect and just beautiful together - Bravo!
Les Canards Chantants = The Singing Ducks.
Yaaaaaaaay
So wonderful to see young Graham Bier performing! What a beautiful film. And the music is heavenly. Thank you!
Brilliant, everthing I like, the singing, lute playing , steam trains. carriages with corridors, and the North York moors.
+Stephen Baguley Thanks, so do we and it was such fun bringing them together.
Awesome! I love lutes and railways (especially NYMR!) and Yorkshire and angelic voices! This has it all. I can die happy now!
Steam trains, Yorkshire, Hogwarts, Lute, Renaissance, Vocals. All these are my favorites.
Dowland is such a joy to sing - always thought that he's underestimated. When he's performed as well as this, it just brings a smile to your face. He also published the tune on its own as the Frog Galliard.
Beautifully performed in a highly imaginative setting.
One of the best performances of Now o Now, I’ve ever heard
Can't stop listening to this! ☺️😍
Stunning pairing of this interpretation with video beauty -- watching again 8 years later, and enchanted still. May all these young musicians and videographers be thriving in spring 2022!
Splendeur inestimable. John Dowland est eternel avec votre interpretation d'une profondeur rare. Merci et bravo à vous.
+molealto Thanks!
Oh, I've seen this several times before, yet it still brings me to tears! It is exquisite, it goes directly to my soul, what magnificence!
This has become one of my most favorite UA-cam videos. Culture, class, excellence.
Amazing beautiful music. Beautiful voices. I am happy yet. Thanks so much. From Russia with love ❤❤❤
Lovely looking back on this - miss you guys xx
Absolutely beautiful and evocative of wonderful and lonely places that are found only in England. Congratulations to all singers, musicians and photographer.
Listening again and again, love Dowland
Thanks, so do we!
beautiful. Dowland is timeless, and this version is pure and good.
Love everything about your video, beautiful music and perfectly blended voices, the mysterious lutenist, the train, the landscape, many, many thanks for your heartfelt art!

Gracias!!! Fue una estupenda ejecución de una obra más difícil de cantar de lo que pareciera.
Playing music on a train is an old dream I realised only once. A short rehearsal before a concert with a new singer ...
heavenly music...
The video and the music together are absolutely magical. I can't find another video on UA-cam that gives me such tender feelings and bittersweet memories. Feeling very homesick for England but in a way I can't get enough of.
Dear @threetails, thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad you got some joy from this project. We miss England too...
A great Dowland piece and a great video adaptation. Thanks very much!
Keep coming back to this video when I need something beautiful. Thanks for creating it.
Gorgeous presentation ! 🌷
So lovely and uplifting. Please do more!
This is a truly wonderful experience! Thank you - I wish every success and please keep making such beautiful music!
Que preciosidad: laúd, voces e imágenes. Para ver una y otra vez, en especial cuando te sientes con nostalgia y agradecido a la vida.
The Performance and the video is fantastic: Not only sung and played perfectly and very inspired, but it shows the different aspects of the composition as well; lute-song, song with melody-voice and as madrigal. Perfect!
+pivi Thank you, we certainly enjoy Dowland's music very much and are glad to share that enjoyment.
What a perfect mixing of a lovely aire of Dowland with the scenery of North Yorkshire and the train !
Dowland's song is so blissfully wistful and your performance is the best I've heard before. It did bring tears
May you be eminently successful!

I was in a small madrigal choir when I was younger. This was one of the pieces we did, and I loved it. Dowland was a genius, and this performance does the work justice. Wonderful.
Beautiful song!
I love Dowland.
Wonderful and touching performance!! Plus very nice, very ENGLISH video! Luv’d it!

Bellissima e struggente interpretazione...
Arriva dritta al cuore...
Bravissimi!!!
i think i saw this video at least 20 times. One of the best interpretations of this great tune by one of my favourite composers... what not to love?
Very beautiful!
my next holidays.. a charming old train, your voices, this sweet English country in spring, yes in spring.Thanks a lot, I just had a dream, when autumn begins, I'll keep my dream during winter time

Absoutamente de acuerdo con su comentario.
Este vídeo es, por todos sus elementos, visual, musical, de enorme belleza.
Un saludo @alexbaskakov4669
Enchanting and utterly beautiful.
What an interesting contemporary setting for this poignant Renaissance classic! And very sweetly sung with excellent harmony.
+captebbtide Thank you so much! We really enjoyed playing with the idea, anachronistic as it might be.
I really like this, I always thought this was one of Dowland's great songs - this performance reinforces that view. Very refreshing.
+T S Martin Thank you!
I just love the way make music. Singing out of a facsimile of Dowlands songbooks - wonderful. I hope you will continue with singing.
Never thought I'd ever see a video containing my two great loves; trains and music!
Superb in every way, singers are so lovely in voice and appearance. The lutenist is an inspiration. How wonderful that Dowland lives on!
This is so beautiflu I almost cry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Very beautiful interprétation . Pas facile dans un train ! Bravo .
très jolie version, 4 belles voix accompagnées au luth dans une mise en scène poétique très plaisante and "so english" !!!!
This has made my day, such a beautiful blend of voices!!!!
Truly beautiful, and as usual, Robin, you light up the production! So very proud that I had a TINY part in your formative years.
Beautiful, simply beautiful! Such truely, truely lovely voices, and such a well-chosen setting for this memorable lute song by J. Dowland. Thanks ever so much!
