This is one of the best performances of "For the Beauty of the Earth" I have heard. The voices sound healthy and well trained. So many times, this selection is presented much too fast. It should sound "relaxed." Very good!
John Rutter's version says, "friends on earth and friends above." While the original composer F.S. Pierpoint says "friends on earth and Friend above." Huge difference... Pierpoints' biblical...
I don't think this is correct . Pierpoint's original words are published on the Wikipedia entry for 'For the beauty' and he wrote 'friends on earth, and friends above', the same as Rutter's version. I think there are just one or two hymnals that have changed this to 'friends below and Friend above', which doesn't make much sense in a verse which begins 'For the joy of human love'. 'Friends above' is entirely biblical, as it is referring to the communion of saints.

What a beautiful rendition - I would love to see the faces in close-up too
Never thought an All-male version would be so nice. The soprano parts were extremely well sung! Very good! :)
I am truly impressed at this all-male version. I like the discipline, the oneness, the love in it. Indeed, "This, our joyful hymn of praise!"
Amazing 😍thanks so much
Beautiful absolutely

Watched two different versions of this song, I much prefer the males only one.
Nice. But not a peep out of the organ.

This hymn is prettier with female voices.
