    My grandfather and I sang along to you three singing this song for hours on end. He had Parkinson's disease but every time the music swelled, he would sing out in the loudest and proudest voice. He passed away this year, (2020) and he went out not with sadness, but this song promising hope.
    I cannot thank you for the love and joy this song gave my grandfather and me. May your voices ring out for eternity.

    It is now early on Easter morning of 2020. I will be attending church via my computer amid the COVID-19 pandemic. I have been listening to some beautiful music and my eyes fill with tears of joy and thanksgiving that this is the celebration of our resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ. The Holy City has been a favorite of mine for many years and the Celtic Tenors brought this hymn to life. Our life on earth is short and times are hard and uncertain yet we have hope and faith that can only come from the Lord himself. To God be the glory!!!

    Matthew and gang...My dad passed at 95 almost five years ago. He was definitely of the vintage that loved these songs. I remember his singing this at the piano while my older sister played for him...the last time I heard it was likely 47 years ago. I didn’t understand it why he treasured this one, but I think I do now. I hadn’t heard it since then, and it took me a while to find it. This rendition with you three is unbelievable. LOVE IT! Wish I knew more of the history of this hymn. Awesome regardless!

    • @CartePostale.

      Our Lord needs no other glory, save His own. There is no such thing in the bible as, "the skarlkanah glory". I think what you meant to say was, "the shekinah glory" something which a lot of people incorporated into their church doctrine. However, there is no such thing in the bible - have a look. I had a brother whose church taught this & he actually became angry when I pointed out the fact that no such thing appears in the bible. He was angry until I asked him where he could show it to me in the bible. It wasn't there &, if it isn't in the bible, we need to be aware that we're not adding to God's word, which is forbidden in scripture.

    Sorry, but this rendition misses the grandiosity of the hymn. I fully agree with Humnaset's comments. It is too fast, the piano accompaniment is light, quasi burlesque. In addition, they are out of in the highest notes. The choral arrangement is faulty, as far as counterpoint is concerned.

    Very near is the return of Jesus Christ the only Savior
    And this is eternal life: that they may know the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3 So those who gladly received his word were baptized; and on that day nearly three thousand souls were added. Acts 2:41

  • @elizabethmaedammann5283
    @elizabethmaedammann5283 5 років тому +4

    The introduction set a slow tempo and then the first tenor sped it up for no apparent reason. The performance settled down but then, again, the high note at the end was an "overkill" . Too hastily for this song.

  • @humnaset
    @humnaset 5 років тому +8

    One of my favorite song but this one is far from the best
    - Tempo is too fast, makes the song sounds too 'lightly'
    - Singing line is not too good, especially in the chorus part
    - The high note at the end takes away the sense of completion from this song

    The first singer put no emotion into his rendition, the whole song sounded very rushed. This is one of my favorite hymns, and I felt nothing but disappointment at how fast and unmovingly this beautiful song of praise was rendered. Disappointing performance.
