This is so beautiful! Really warms the heart. I think this is the best UA-cam recording of this song and I totally love how inclusive the video captures of the people are. Well done!
Bravi, bravi - beautifully and honestly sung, with a gorgeous video to boot. Love is love is love. It melts my heart... such magnificent work, all of you.
The Stonewall Singers, a 16-18 person chamber group in Brooklyn, New York, will be singing this in concert this April (2017). Nice to hear it beautifully performed.
So far this is the best performance of this song that I've found on youtube. It is such a beautiful and in its way difficult piece and it always makes me want to weep when I sing in it, but that would make singing it even harder. I appreciate the age and gender-attentive diversity of the embracing people in the vid. My own fantasy triggered by this song is quite different -- it's of hiding, escaping together, cloaked, closing one's eyes "under my coat" (I think of a lover's coat, not mine) ... with all that warm white goat's milk on hand. So if you should do another rendition of this gorgeous song, which you sing SO beautifully, and your theme is agri-nostalgia, I would love to see, not just hear, what you do! Thank you, in the meantime, for this beautiful performance.
Musically I think it's very good. I do not appreciate the video though. I am a gay man, but I don't think it has anything to do w/Barber's intention. Prove me wrong, but I don't like it.
Roland C Hansen The theme for the video is "diversity" and the theme for the music is "love". What we are trying to show is how love can be so many things, a statement we hope Barber would agree to. It´s hard to say something about his intentions and mental images when he wrote the music, but listening to the lyrics we cant´t say who he wants to accompany him under his coat. Another man, a woman, his children or his pet? Love is a many splendored thing, and it´s not all about physical love! Nevertheless, we are very happy you enjoyed our singing, and encourage you to listen to our other clips here on UA-cam! Best regards // Jon
@@akademiskamalmo Samuel Barber would want his lover and life partner Gian Carlo Menotti, to accompany him under his coat. I too love this piece ever since I first heard it performed by the Cambridge Singers (Pasadena), Alexander Ruggieri conducting.
One of my very favorite pieces of music ever...

This is a devilishly difficult piece. It calls on the singers to maintain the correct pitch throughout. You all did a very nice job.
So beautiful, and such true joy. My heart leapt.
Marvellous, so beautiful!
Barber would have been pleased by this video.
Beautiful!

Very nice performance!!
***** Thank you very much!
